maybe it is sufficient to simply apply to these MAC addrs what we already do to xen. It just seems that then we are vulnerable to device/driver ordering issues.

One other thing to consider is that kvm implements pci hotplug for network devices (http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Hotadd_pci_devices). So whitelisting of kvm addresses would result in inconsistent naming with 2 network devices being added and removed in somewhat arbitrary order.
