This patchset expands the KVP (Key Value Pair) functionality to implement the mechanism to GET/SET IP addresses in the guest. This functionality is used in Windows Server 2012 to implement VM replication functionality. The way IP configuration information is managed is distro specific. Based on the feedback I have gotten from Olaf, Greg, Steve, Ben and Mairus, I have chosen to seperate distro specific code from this patch-set. Most of the GET operation can be implemented in a way that is completely distro independent and I have implemented that as such and is included in this patch-set. Some of the attributes that can only be fetched in a distro dependent way as well the mechanism for configuring an interface (the SET operation) that is clearly distro specific is to be implemented via external scripts that will be invoked via the KVP code. We define here the interface to these scripts. Adding support for IP injection resulted in some changes to the protocol between the user level daemon and the kernel driver. These changes have been implemented in way that would retain compatibility with older daemons. I would like to thank Olaf and Greg for pointing out the compatibility issue. K. Y.
