If udev doesn't support renaming of the devices,  then the upper bypass device
should get the original name and the lower virtio netdev will get the next name.
Hopefully the distros updating the kernel will also move to the new systemd/udev.

backup_netdev is virtio_net and  it is not expected to fail as it supports
MTU all the way upto 64K.
