I have involved QEMU because QEMU prepares the rarp. I agree that backend
has probably all the information to do that.
But backend does not know if the guest supports the VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_ANNOUNCE
and will send a useless rarp.

Maybe this duplication of requests is not very important and in this case
this patch is not mandatory.
