Back in July 2010, commit 6ea90b84 (meant to resolve
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/571991 ) added code to set the MAC address
of any tap device to the associated guest interface's MAC, but with
the first byte replaced with 0xFE. This was done in order to assure
that

1) the tap MAC and guest interface MAC were different (otherwise L2
   forwarding through the tap would not work, and the kernel would
   repeatedly issue a warning stating as much).

2) any bridge device that had one of these taps attached would *not*
   take on the MAC of the tap (leading to network instability as
   guests started and stopped)

A couple years later, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/798467 was filed,
complaining that a user could configure a tap-based guest interface to
have a MAC address that itself had a first byte of 0xFE, silently
(other than the kernel warning messages) resulting in a non-working
configuration. This was fixed by commit 5d571045, which logged an
error and failed the guest start / interface attach if the MAC's first
byte was 0xFE.

Although this restriction only reduces the potential pool of MAC
addresses from 2^46 (last two bits of byte 1 must be set to 10) by
2^32 (still 4 orders of magnitude larger than the entire IPv4 address
space), it also means that management software that autogenerates MAC
addresses must have special code to avoid an 0xFE prefix. Now after 7
years, someone has noticed this restriction and requested that we
remove it.

So instead of failing when 0xFE is found as the first byte, this patch
removes the restriction by just replacing the first byte in the tap
device MAC with 0xFA if the first byte in the guest interface is
0xFE. 0xFA is the next-highest value that still has 10 as the lowest
two bits, and still

2) meets the requirement of "tap MAC must be different from guest
   interface MAC", and

3) is high enough that there should never be an issue of the attached
   bridge device taking on the MAC of the tap.

The result is that *any* MAC can be chosen by management software
(although it would still not work correctly if a multicast MAC (lowest
bit of first byte set to 1) was chosen), but that's a different
issue).
