Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] more interface functions; some needed for VEPA

Then there is a new function that reads the VLANid of a VLAN

patches.
Yes, this is needed by VEPA. With this patch it should be possible to
collect all the components required for the VEPA (for VSI discovery protocol).
As per your/David's earlier RFC for sending the netlink message to
the VSI engine (LLDPAD), the netlink message will need to contain:
1. 'Port profile' comprising of :
VSI Manager ID 1 octet
VSI Type ID 3 octets
VSI Type ID Version 1 octet
VSI Instance ID 16 octets
Therefore need to extend the domain xml to take the above 4 values.
reference, Pg 50 of the proposal here
http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2010/bg-joint-evb-0410v1.pdf
2. MAC address (of the virtual interface)
3. VLAN tag (associtaed with the virtual interface)
thanks

On cygwin for example none of the newly added functions are available.
The flags related function could not be exported due to missing
PF_PACKET -- or maybe other type of protocol that needs to be used when
opening the socket for running the ioctl() on.
