I think it should be something like:
def addMTU(interface, mtusize):
mtu = interface.createElement('mtu')
add_attributes(mtu, 'size')
mtu.setAttribute('size', mtusize)
def main():
mtusize = os.environ.get('extnet_mtu')
if mtusize is not None:
doc = hooking.read_domxml()
addMTU(doc, mtusize)
hooking.write_domxml(doc)

Could you please post how the libvirt xml should look like after the
current hook (if it supported setting the mtu?
