In many files there are header comments that contain an Author:
statement, supposedly reflecting who originally wrote the code.
In a large collaborative project like libvirt, any non-trivial
file will have been modified by a large number of different
contributors. IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,
omitting people who have made significant contribitions.
In some places Author: lines have been added despite the person
merely being responsible for creating the file by moving existing
code out of another file. IOW, the Author: lines give an incorrect
record of authorship.
With this all in mind, the comments are useless as a means to identify
who to talk to about code in a particular file. Contributors will always
be better off using 'git log' and 'git blame' if they need to find the
author of a particular bit of code.
This commit thus deletes all Author: comments from the source and adds
a rule to prevent them reappearing.
The Copyright headers are similarly misleading and inaccurate, however,
we cannot delete these as they have legal meaning, despite being largely
inaccurate. In addition only the copyright holder is permitted to change
their respective copyright statement.

These two functions use netlink RTM_NEWNEIGH and RTM_DELNEIGH messages
to add and delete entries from a bridge's fdb. The bridge itself is
not referenced in the arguments to the functions, only the name of the
device that is attached to the bridge (since a device can only be
attached to one bridge at a time, and must be attached for this
function to make sense, the kernel easily infers which bridge's fdb is
being modified by looking at the device name/index).

This patch removes the explicit FSF address, and uses above instead
(of course, with inserting 'Lesser' before 'General').
Except a bunch of files for security driver, all others are changed
automatically, the copyright for securify files are not complete,
that's why to do it manually:
src/security/security_selinux.h
src/security/security_driver.h
src/security/security_selinux.c
src/security/security_apparmor.h
src/security/security_apparmor.c
src/security/security_driver.c
Following the renaming of the bridge management APIs, we can now
split the source file into 3 corresponding pieces
* src/util/virnetdev.c: APIs for any type of network interface
* src/util/virnetdevbridge.c: APIs for bridge interfaces
* src/util/virnetdevtap.c: APIs for TAP interfaces
* src/util/virnetdev.c, src/util/virnetdev.h,
src/util/virnetdevbridge.c, src/util/virnetdevbridge.h,
src/util/virnetdevtap.c, src/util/virnetdevtap.h: Copied
from bridge.{c,h}
* src/util/bridge.c, src/util/bridge.h: Split into 3 pieces
* src/lxc/lxc_driver.c, src/network/bridge_driver.c,
src/openvz/openvz_driver.c, src/qemu/qemu_command.c,
src/qemu/qemu_conf.h, src/uml/uml_conf.c, src/uml/uml_conf.h,
src/uml/uml_driver.c: Update #include directives
