Pushing under the build-breaker rule, and backporting to v1.1.1-maint
This change breaks configure on any Fedora install I have, so I've had to revert it in master, since broken Fedora is more of a show stopper than broken RHEL6.
Arrgh - this time, the incremental build on Fedora bit me. I hate that the use of <linux/if_bridge.h> is broken depending on platform, with opposite conditions on whether you include or avoid <netinet/in.h>; the kernel folks really botched this one. :( I'll come up with a v2. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
