Fix QEMU mac address doc references

python-virtinst-0.400.3-11.el5
#man virt-install

-m MAC, --mac=MAC
Fixed MAC address for the guest; If this parameter is omitted, or the
value "RANDOM" is specified a suitable address will be randomly generated. For Xen virtual machines it is required that the first 3 pairs in the MAC address be the sequence ’00:16:3e’, while for QEMU or KVM virtual machines it must be ’52:54:00’.
