[libvirt] [PATCH] lib: Document limitation of virDomainInterfaceAddresses
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1588336
This API takes @source argument which tells it where to get
domain IP addresses from. However, not all sources are capable of
providing all the information we report, for instance ARP table
has no notion of IP address prefixes. Document this limitation.
