Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v2] util: netdevbridge: fall back to ioctl from sysfs

There are certain cases e.g. containers where the sysfs path might exists, but might fail. Unfortunately the exact restrictions are only known to libvirt when trying to write to it so we need to try it. But in case it fails there is no need to fully abort, in those cases try to fall back to the older ioctl interface which can still work. That makes setting up a bridge in unprivileged LXD containers work.
