You are correct, mac_specified=1 means either user or device specified
MAC address. If get_mac fails below then we use the user specified MAC
address, so mac_specified = 1 is still valid in this case.

I am not sure to get youre point, but it sets VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC in the
frontend features there, that does not mean the feature is negotiated in
the end.

If it fails here, it won't be using a random MAC, but the MAC provided
by the user. The log could be improved with something like:
"Device MAC update failed, using MAC xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"

What do you think?
