[arch-general] systemd-networkd 226 in virtual machines

in 226, systemd-networkd now supports predictable interface names
for virtio devices.[1]

For people running Arch in KVM with virtio-net (as I do), that means
the network interface name will change from eth0 to - in my case -
ens5.

That, for me also meant no ip address after reboot. Make sure to set
[Match]Name=en* or some such before rebooting.
