We were being lazy - virnetlink.c was getting uint32_t as a
side-effect from glibc 2.14's <unistd.h>, but older glibc 2.11
does not provide uint32_t from <unistd.h>. In fact, POSIX states
that <unistd.h> need only provide intptr_t, not all of <stdint.h>,
so the bug really is ours. Reported by Jonathan Alescio.
* src/util/virnetlink.h: Include <stdint.h>.
This value will be needed to set the src_pid when sending netlink
messages to lldpad. It is part of the solution to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816465
Note that libnl's port generation algorithm guarantees that the
nl_socket_get_local_port() will always be > 0 (since it is "getpid() +
(n << 22>" where n is always < 1024), so it is okay to cast the
uint32_t to int (thus allowing us to use -1 as an error sentinel).
Until now, virNetlinkCommand has assumed that the nl_pid in the source
address of outgoing netlink messages should always be the return value
of getpid(). In most cases it actually doesn't matter, but in the case
of communication with lldpad, lldpad saves this info and later uses it
to send netlink messages back to libvirt. A recent patch to fix Bug
816465 changed the order of the universe such that the netlink event
service socket is no longer bound with nl_pid == getpid(), so lldpad
could no longer send unsolicited messages to libvirtd. Adding src_pid
as an argument to virNetlinkCommand() is the first step in notifying
lldpad of the proper address of the netlink event service socket.
This patch adds the following:
- functions to set and get vf configs
- Functions to replace and store vf configs (Only mac address is handled today.
But the functions can be easily extended for vlans and other vf configs)
- function to dump link dev info (This is moved from virnetdevvportprofile.c)

This code adds a netlink event interface to libvirt.
It is based upon the event_poll code and makes use of
it. An event is generated for each netlink message sent
to the libvirt pid.

Rename the src/util/netlink files to src/util/virnetlink to
better fit the naming scheme. Also rename nlComm to virNetlinkCommand.
