Daniel P. Berrange 1c275e9afa Only build server side drivers as modules
The driver modules all use symbols which are defined in libvirt.so.
Thus for loading of modules to work, the binary that libvirt.so
is linked to must export its symbols back to modules. If the
libvirt.so itself is dlopen()d then the RTLD_GLOBAL flag must
be set. Unfortunately few, if any, programming languages use
the RTLD_GLOBAL flag when loading modules :-( This means is it
not practical to use driver modules for any libvirt client side
drivers (OpenVZ, VMWare, Hyper-V, Remote client, test).

This patch changes the build process so only server side drivers
are built as modules (Xen, QEMU, LXC, UML)

* daemon/libvirtd.c: Add missing load of 'interface' driver
* src/Makefile.am: Only build server side drivers as modules
* src/libvirt.c: Don't load any driver modules
