[libvirt] [PATCH 0/7] Introduce API for dumping domain IP addresses

This feature has been requested for a very long time. However, we had to wait for guest agent to obtain reliable results as user might create totally different structure of interfaces than seen from outside (e.g. bonding, virtual interfaces, etc.). That's the main reason why sniffing for domain traffic can return bogus results. Fortunately, qemu guest agent implement requested part for a while so nothing holds us back anymore. To make matters worse, guest OS can assign whatever name to an interface and changing MAC inside guest isn't propagated to the host which in the end see original one. Therefore, finding correlation between interface within guest and the host side end is left as exercise for mgmt applications. This API is called virDomainInterfacesAddresses (okay, maybe too many plurals) and returns a dynamically allocated array of virDomainInterface struct. The great disadvantage once this gets released, it's written in stone and we cannot change or add an item into it. Therefore we might add a padding into it - something like reserved for future use. On the other hand, everything important is already there - what else we will want to add? :) There are basically two approaches: 1) two APIs: one for list interfaces names, the other for querying addresses on singe interface 2) one API that returns everything I've chosen the latter as it's race free (query for interface that has gone meanwhile).
