[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix macvtap detection by also checking for IFLA_VF_MAX

ACK. Pushed. Thanks. With this we can build on Debian Squeeze again without any special configure options besides --disable-error. This is still needed since libnl triggers some warnings:
cc1: warnings being treated as errors /usr/include/netlink/object.h:58: error: inline function 'nl_object_priv' declared but never defined Cheers, -- Guido
