Not clear there's a perfect solution that doesn't involve modifying the
Solaris PV netback to interpret None as SunW_mac (or whatever it was).
That's probably the nicest solution of all, and get rid of netback_type
default altogether. But that may be unacceptable due to backward compat
issues with existing Solaris PV netback?
