ifname could be supplied by user, but if I understood code correctly,
it's checked that:

 * user supplied ifname doesn't start with auto-generated prefix ('vnet')
 * user supplied ifname doesn't have '%' in it

otherwise we fallback to the auto-generated name (prefix + "%d").

Relevant code pieces:

qemu/qemu_command.c:339
uml/uml_conf.c:114

Will fix.

Well, I test it with domain definition like that:

Networking obviously is not functional, but it's enough to test device
creation.
