The following patch addresses the problem that when a PASSTHROUGH
mode DIRECT NIC connection is made the MAC address of the NIC is
not automatically set and reset to the configured VM MAC and
back again.

The attached patch fixes this problem by setting and resetting the MAC
while remembering the previous setting while the VM is running.
This also works if libvirtd is restarted while the VM is running.
