This part adds support for qemu making a macvtap tap device available
via file descriptor passed to qemu command line. This also attempts to
tear down the macvtap device when a VM terminates. This includes support
for attachment and detachment to/from running VM.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.[ch] src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: add support in the
QEmu driver
This part adds the helper code to setup and tear down macvtap devices
using direct communication with the device driver via netlink sockets.
The rather short messages received from the netlink layer are now
written into a dynamically allocated buffer
* src/util/macvtap.h src/util/macvtap.c: provides the new module
* po/POTFILES.in: the module contains translated strings
This part adds support to domain_conf.{c|h} for parsing the new
interface XML of type 'direct'. The parsed mode is now stored as
an int.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c src/conf/domain_conf.h: extend parsing code
* src/util/macvtap.h: empty header to not break compilation
This patch adds build support for libvirt checking for certain contents
of /usr/include/linux/if_link.h to see whether macvtap support is
compilable on that system. One can disable macvtap support in libvirt
via --without-macvtap passed to configure.
* configure.ac src/Makefile.am: new build support
* src/libvirt_macvtap.syms: list of exported symbols
* src/util/macvtap.c: empty module to not break compilation
