Specify the MAC address for tap0 may be a requirement for some applications.
As described in doc/guides/howto/virtio_user_as_exceptional_path.rst, when
virtio-user with vhost-kernel is used to exchange packet with kernel networking
stack, instead of KNI, application need to set the physical NIC in promiscuous
mode, otherwise, the packet send to tap0 will be discarded by physical NIC. So,
this will be a probleam, when some applications not set NIC in promiscuous mode.
This problem will be easy to solve, If application can specify the MAC address
of the NIC for tap0.

You are right. It is not necessary to set the MAC of tap0 via virtio-user.
Applications can use ioctl() to set the MAC of tap0 by themselves.

Sorry for this. I will submit a buildable patch later.
