Currently QEMU dynamically generates mac address for the NIC which doesn't specify the mac address. But when we hotplug a NIC without specifying mac address, the mac address will increase for the same NIC along with hotplug and hot-unplug, and at last it will overflow. And if we codeplug one NIC with mac address e.g. "52:54:00:12:34:56", then hotplug one NIC without specifying mac address and the mac address of the hotplugged NIC is duplicate of "52:54:00:12:34:56". This patch add a mac_table to record the usage status and free the mac address when the NIC is unrealized.
