Description
virt-manager miss privnet option in xml file when creating lxc guest using operating system container

Refer to bug 1040311 comment 1:
If you are running a full operating system in LXC, you *must* have a private network namespace either by adding an <interface> or by requesting a new namespace with
  <features>
     <privnet/>
  </features>

Also privnet option from libvirt.org:
    Always create a private network namespace. This is automatically set if any interface devices are defined. This feature is only relevant for container based virtualization drivers, such as LXC. 

Version:
virt-manager-0.9.0-19.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. add the following yum repo
#vim /etc/yum.repos.d/yum-fedora.conf
[main]

debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log

gpgcheck=1
plugins=1
installonly_limit=3

2.#yum -y --nogpg --releasever=19 --config=/etc/yum.repos.d/yum-fedora.conf --installroot=/var/lib/libvirt/filesystems/f19x86_64 --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=fedora  install  systemd passwd yum redhat-release vim-minimal openssh-server procps

3. #echo "pts/0" >> /var/lib/libvirt/filesystems/f19x86_64/etc/securetty

4. #vi /var/lib/libvirt/filesystems/f19x86_64/etc/pam.d/login
 commnent out the following lines
#session    required     pam_selinux.so close
#session    required     pam_loginuid.so

5.add root user and the passwd.
#chroot /var/lib/libvirt/filesystems/f19x86_64 /bin/passwd root

6.Launch virt-manager.

7.Click "Create a new virtual machine"

8.input vm name,select "Localhost(LXC)" in "Connetion"

9.select "operating system container" and click "Forward"

10.Browse to path of rootfs.fedora,in this case is /var/lib/libvirt/filesystems/f19x86_64

11.set Memory and cpu ,and click "Forward"

12.click "Advanced options", click "Finish"

13.Check the xml file of lxc guest,no privnet included in the xml file.
# virsh -c lxc:///  dumpxml test 
<domain type='lxc' id='19189'>
