Cole Robinson 7ae53f1593 build: work around broken kernel header
I got this scary warning during ./configure on rawhide:

checking linux/if_bridge.h usability... no
checking linux/if_bridge.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: linux/if_bridge.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: linux/if_bridge.h:     check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: linux/if_bridge.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: linux/if_bridge.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: linux/if_bridge.h: proceeding with the compiler's result
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------- ##
configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to libvir-list@redhat.com ##
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------- ##
checking for linux/if_bridge.h... no

* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Provide struct in6_addr, since
linux/if_bridge.h uses it without declaring it.

         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.
