[libvirt] [PATCH 0/7] QEMU network/bridge backed NIC hotplug

Hey, So, here are the patches needed to complete the QEMU NIC hotplug work by supporting network and bridge backed interfaces. We support this by passing a tap file descriptor to qemu over the monitor socket using SCM_RIGHTS. The monitor commands required for this (getfd and closefd) are queued up in Anthony's queue and should be in qemu-0.11-rc1 which is due to be released very soon: http://repo.or.cz/w/qemu/aliguori-queue.git?a=commitdiff;h=4edd6c2645 http://repo.or.cz/w/qemu/aliguori-queue.git?a=commitdiff;h=f4069061e3 Note: I just remembered I'm not handling missing support for these commands very well. I'll make it handle an 'unknown command' reply gracefully by failing the attach tommorrow. Cheers, Mark.
