But the virtio spec doesn't allow setting the MAC...
I'm probably just lost in the conversation but there's hypervisor side
and there is user/VM side, each of them already has an interface to set
the MAC. The MAC doesn't matter, but I want to make sure my mental model
matches reality in case we start duplicating too much..  

An obvious part of provisioning is specifying the config space
of the device.

Agreed, that part is obvious.
Please go ahead, I don't really care and you clearly don't have time
to explain.
