I think this is actually handled on the destination when parsing the incoming
XML in the Prepare phase. Something like the below patch may be a better
solution.

Subject: [PATCH] conf: add net device prefix for Xen
Commit d2e5538b1 changes virDomainDef to include ifnames autogenerated
by libxl. When migrating a domain, the autogenerated name is included
in the XML sent to the destination host. This would lead to erronous
behaviour (as seen in osstest CI) such as failing to migrate when
a vif with the same name existed (belonging to another domain) on
destination.
This patch defines another VIR_NET_GENERATED_PREFIX for Xen allowing
the autogenerated names to be excluded when parsing and formatting
inactive config.
