macvtap support for libvirt -- qemu support
This part adds support for qemu making a macvtap tap device available via file descriptor passed to qemu command line. This also attempts to tear down the macvtap device when a VM terminates. This includes support for attachment and detachment to/from running VM. * src/qemu/qemu_conf.[ch] src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: add support in the QEmu driver
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.
