This patch resolves:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827519
The problem is that an interface with type='hostdev' will have an
alias of the form "hostdev%d", while the function that looks through
existing netdevs to determine the name to use for a new addition will
fail if there's an existing entry that does not match the form
"net%d".
This is another of the handful of places that need an exception due to
the hybrid nature of <interface type='hostdev'> (which is not exactly
an <interface> or a <hostdev>, but is both at the same time).
idx = 0;
for (i = 0 ; i < def->nnets ; i++) {

qemuReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "%s",
_("Unable to determine device index for network device"));
