BTW, as in some situations hardware might not be able satisfy
requirements, a subset of this item would be to expose whatever macvtap
is capable of, to the guest.  E.g. if mac can not be changed we could at
least query the mac, something that would be convenient as noted by mjt
in an irc chat.

To enable migration we'd then need a set of flags to limit this to a least
common denominator on a given network.
