An example in the commit message of what the variable expands to would
be nice.

Also worth an example of what this will contain (such as
fe80::5254:00ff:fe1a:0a6d). And definitely needs a "Since" tag (in the
appropriate <div> markup) mentioning this was added in 1.2.4.

Style - this { belongs on the same line as the if.

Long line; please wrap to 80 columns. You MEANT to use %02x; your code
misbehaves on zero bytes. Why do you need to open-code the snprintf;
would it be any cleaner to just use functions from util/virsocketaddr.h
for formatting an IPv6 value that you construct from the MAC address?
The idea probably has merit, so I'm looking forward to v2.
