[libvirt] [PATCH] Determine the root physical interface of a given interface

In this patch I am adding functions that help to iteratively determine
the root physical interface of a given interface. An example would be
that a macvtap device is linked to eth0.100 which in turn is linked to
eth0. Given the name or interface index of the macvtap device that is
linked to eth0.100, eth0 is found by following the links to the end. I
am using now the netlink library to parse the returned netlink messages
and for that I am making additions to configure.ac and the rpm spec file
to check for the netlink and netlink-devel packages respectively. In the
configure.ac the requirement to have the netlink library is dependent on
having macvtap.
The setup of the upcoming VEPA patches requires knowledge over which
interface to run the setup protocol. In the above case the protocol
would need to run over interface eth0 and provide the knowledge of vlan
id 100 in the protocol (see previous patch).
