This is a series of patches to implement DHCP IP & hostname mappings
for libvirt virtual networks.
** NOTE: This patch is not to be applied. There is some memory
corruption bug which I'm still tracking down.
What this patch allows you to do is to create a table of IP address to
host (defined by its hardware / MAC address) for each virtual network.
Optionally you can also assign a hostname. When a host starts up and
requests an IP address through DHCP, if it is in this table then it
gets the fixed IP address from the table and, optionally, a fixed
hostname.
Four new API calls are added. Two are required to list the contents
of the mapping table. Two more allow you to add and delete a mapping.
The mapping table is semi-permanent. It is stored in
/var/lib/libvirt/hosts-<networkname>.conf and survives across libvirtd
restarts.
The implementation simply uses dnsmasq's --dhcp-hostsfile flag. Refer
to the dnsmasq(1) manual page.
