The check for a network being active during interface attach was being
done individually in several places (by both the lxc driver and the
qemu driver), but those places were too specific, leading to it *not*
being checked when allocating a connection/device from a macvtap or
hostdev network.
This patch puts a single check in networkAllocateActualDevice(), which
is always called before the any network interface is attached to any
type of domain. It also removes all the other now-redundant checks
from the lxc and qemu drivers.
NB: the following patches are prerequisites for this patch, in the
case that it is backported to any branch:
440beeb network: fix virNetworkObjAssignDef and persistence
8aaa5b6 network: create statedir during driver initialization
b9e9549 network: change location of network state xml files
411c548 network: set macvtap/hostdev networks active if their state
file exists

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
