I'm using libvirt with interface type 'network' or 'hostdev'. The mac 
address is optional within this configuration block. But, If omitted, 
it's automatically generated. Even if I could set the mac address via 
the 'ip link' command (not very practical with libvirt but possible), 
Keepalived still needs two mac addresses per VF. From the guest perspective:
	- ethX: @mac1, @ip1
	- macvlanX<->ethX: @mac2 (vmac), @ip2 (vip)

Correct me if I'm wrong, the command 'ip link set dev DEVICE vf NUM mac 
ADDR' can only set one mac per VF.

Thanks,
