With this series applied it is possible to get stable NIC device naming
in combination with QEMU >= 6.0.0 (release imminent), by setting the
ACPI device index against NICs.
<acpi index="NNN"/>
The index is an unique integer that can be assigned to any PCI/PCIe
device. systemd uses this value for its stable NIC naming scheme.
If not present, then it falls back to an SMBIOS device index, but
QEMU doesn't support that concept.
Note that although this is only known to be useful for NICs, the
ACPI feature is conceptually available for any PCI device, and so
libvirt doesn't restrict the usage to only NICs.
Tested with current QEMU git master, and Fedora 30 guest. It works
with i440fx, but fails with Q35. The latter problem is reported to
qemu-devel and awaiting response.
