For stateless, client side drivers, it is never correct to
probe for secondary drivers. It is only ever appropriate to
use the secondary driver that is associated with the
hypervisor in question. As a result the ESX & HyperV drivers
have both been forced to do hacks where they register no-op
drivers for the ones they don't implement.
For stateful, server side drivers, we always just want to
use the same built-in shared driver. The exception is
virtualbox which is really a stateless driver and so wants
to use its own server side secondary drivers. To deal with
this virtualbox has to be built as 3 separate loadable
modules to allow registration to work in the right order.
This can all be simplified by introducing a new struct
recording the precise set of secondary drivers each
hypervisor driver wants
struct _virConnectDriver {
virHypervisorDriverPtr hypervisorDriver;
virInterfaceDriverPtr interfaceDriver;
virNetworkDriverPtr networkDriver;
virNodeDeviceDriverPtr nodeDeviceDriver;
virNWFilterDriverPtr nwfilterDriver;
virSecretDriverPtr secretDriver;
virStorageDriverPtr storageDriver;
};
Instead of registering the hypervisor driver, we now
just register a virConnectDriver instead. This allows
us to remove all probing of secondary drivers. Once we
have chosen the primary driver, we immediately know the
correct secondary drivers to use.

There are lots of macro declarations in vbox_common.c,
vbox_network.c, and the coming vbox_storage.c which simply the API
calling. Since they are totally the same. We shouldn't keep three
copies of that, so they are moved to vbox_common.h.
Note: The macros are quite different from those in vbox_tmpl.c,
because they are using different API.
This patch seperate the domain driver and the network driver.
libvirt_driver_vbox_impl.la has been linked in the network driver.
So that the version specified codes in vbox_V*.c would only be
compiled once.
The vboxGetNetworkDriver provides a simple interface to get vbox
network driver.
This patch rewrites two public APIs. They are vboxNetworkUndefine
and vboxNetworkDestroy. They use the same core function
vboxNetworkUndefineDestroy. I merged it in one patch.
This patch actually contains two public API, virNetworkDefineXML
and virNetworkCreateXML. They use the same core function
vboxNetworkDefineCreateXML. So I merged it together.
