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.

Thanks!
Just in case Cindy who is working on it is also confused,
here is what I meant:

- an interface to provision a device, including its config
  space, makes sense to me
- default mac address is part of config space, and would thus be covered
- note how this is different from ability to tweak the mac of an existing
  device

Thanks Micheal, I will continue working in this
thanks
cindy
