virnetdev: fix build with old kernel
Commit c9027d8f added a detection of NIC HW features, but some of them are not available in old kernel. Very old kernels lack enum ethtool_flags and even if this enum is present, not all values are available for all kernels. To be sure that we have everything in kernel that we need, we must check for existence of most of that flags, because only few of them were defined at first. Also to successfully build libvirt with older kernel we need to include <linux/types.h> before <linux/ethtool.h> to have __u32 and friends defined. Signed-off-by: Pavel Hrdina <phrdina@redhat.com>
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. Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>
Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
