The virNetlinkCommand() method takes an 'unsigned char **'
parameter to be filled with the received netlink message.
The callers then immediately cast this to 'struct nlmsghdr',
triggering (bogus) warnings about increasing alignment
requirements
util/virnetdev.c: In function 'virNetDevLinkDump':
util/virnetdev.c:1300:12: warning: cast increases required alignment of target type [-Wcast-align]
resp = (struct nlmsghdr *)*recvbuf;
^
util/virnetdev.c: In function 'virNetDevSetVfConfig':
util/virnetdev.c:1429:12: warning: cast increases required alignment of target type [-Wcast-align]
resp = (struct nlmsghdr *)recvbuf;
Since all callers cast to 'struct nlmsghdr' we can avoid
the warning problem entirely by simply changing the
signature of virNetlinkCommand to return a 'struct nlmsghdr **'
instead of 'unsigned char **'. The way we do the cast inside
virNetlinkCommand does not have any alignment issues.

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.
