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.

Roman Bogorodskiy 5295e35f58 portability: handle ifreq differences in virnetdev
FreeBSD (and maybe other BSDs) have different member
names in struct ifreq when compared to Linux, such as:

 - uses ifr_data instead of ifr_newname for setting
   interface names
 - uses ifr_index instead of ifr_ifindex for interface
   index

Also, add a check for SIOCGIFHWADDR for virNetDevValidateConfig().

Use AF_LOCAL if AF_PACKET is not available.

         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.
