[sorry for running out of time yesterday, and leaving this series hanging on one patch]

The network driver needs to assign physical devices for use by modes
that use macvtap, keeping track of which physical devices are in use
(and how many instances, when the devices can be shared). Three calls
are added:

networkAllocateActualDevice - finds a physical device for use by the
domain, and sets up the virDomainActualNetDef accordingly.

networkNotifyActualDevice - assumes that the domain was already
running, but libvirtd was restarted, and needs to be notified by each
already-running domain about what interfaces they are using.

networkReleaseActualDevice - decrements the usage count of the
allocated physical device, and frees the virDomainActualNetDef to
avoid later accidentally using the device.

bridge_driver.[hc] - the new APIs. When WITH_NETWORK is false, these
functions are all defined inline static in the .h file (and become a
NOP) to prevent link errors.

qemu_(command|driver|hotplug|process).c - add calls to the above APIs
     in the appropriate places.

tests/Makefile.am - need to include libvirt_driver_network.la whenever
     libvirt_driver_qemu.la is linked, to avoid unreferenced symbols
     (in functions that are never called by the test programs...)

The joys of static linking - once you need one function in a .o, all others in that file get linked in, along with their dependencies, even if they remain uncalled. I don't know if that means we need to refactor our qemu driver into yet more files, but that's a question for another day; I'm fine with the extra library in tests/Makefile.am for now.

Change from V1: rather than making things compile properly when
configured with --without-network by dropping #if WITH_NETWORK all
over in the .c files, in this version I just redefine the functions in
question (network.....()) as static inline in the .h file when
WITH_NETWORK is false:

   https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-July/msg00534.html

This works perfectly, but "make syntax-check" doesn't like the fact
that I've put ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED on the args of the function
prototype. I think make syntax-check should be changed to allow
ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED in a .h file, as long as it's part of a function
definition (rather than declaration), but could be convinced
otherwise if needed to get this pushed sooner.

It would be easy enough to exempt just that one header from the syntax check rule (but don't apply this - see below):

Uses iface without first checking for NULL, so let's mark that in the .h file.

+            *iface->data.network.actual->data.direct.virtPortProfile = *virtport;

Will this ever bite us later if we add a pointer to the struct, but forget to update this line of code? Adding a helper function now, even if the helper function just uses bitwise shallow copy for now, might ease maintenance down the road. But it's not worth holding up this patch just for that.

The cppi syntax-check didn't like this.

See comment above about adding attributes.

+networkAllocateActualDevice(virDomainNetDefPtr iface ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED)

I don't know of any way to write a regex that avoids ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED but permits static inline.

However, it _is_ possible to write a macro rather than use a static inline function, at which point you don't need ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED in the first place!
