[libvirt] [PATCHv2 2/4] network: provide internal API to return IP of a network

Laine Stump laine at laine.org

The new listenNetwork atribute needs to learn an IP address based on a
named network. This patch provides a function networkGetNetworkAddress
which provides that.

Some networks have an IP address explicitly in their configuration
(ie, those with a forward type of "none", "route", or "nat"). For
those, we can just return the IP address from the config.

The rest will have a physical device associated with them (either via
<bridge name='...'/>, <forward ... dev='...'/>, or possibly via a pool
of interfaces inside the network's <forward> element) and we will need
to ask the kernel for the current IP address of that device (via the
newly added ifaceGetIPAddress

If networkGetNetworkAddress encounters an error while trying to learn
the address for a network, it will return -1. In the case that libvirt
has been compiled without the network driver, a static inline version
of the function, which returns -2, will be used. This allows
differentiating between a failure of the network driver, and its
complete absence.
