This patch parses the following two XML descriptions, one for
802.1Qbg and one for 802.1Qbh, and stores the data internally.
The actual triggering of the switch setup protocol has not been
implemented here but the relevant code to do that should go into
the functions associatePortProfileId() and disassociatePortProfileId().

   <interface type='direct'>
      <source dev='eth0.100' mode='vepa'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <virtualport type='802.1Qbg'>
        <parameters managerid='12' typeid='0x123456' typeidversion='1'
         instanceid='fa9b7fff-b0a0-4893-8e0e-beef4ff18f8f'/>
      </virtualport>
      <filterref filter='clean-traffic'/>
    </interface>

    <interface type='direct'>
      <source dev='eth0.100' mode='vepa'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <virtualport type='802.1Qbh'>
        <parameters profileid='my_profile'/>
      </virtualport>
    </interface>

I'd suggest to use this patch as a base for triggering the setup
protocol with the 802.1Qb{g|h} switch.

Several rounds of changes were made to this patch. The
following is a list of these changes.
- Renamed structure virVirtualPortProfileDef to virVirtualPortProfileParams
  as per Daniel Berrange's request
- Addressing Daniel Berrange's comments:
 - removing macvtap.h's dependency on domain_conf.h by
   moving the virVirtualPortProfileDef structure into macvtap.h
   and not passing virtDomainNetDefPtr to any functions in
   macvtap.c
- Addressed most of Chris Wright's comments:
  - indicating error in case virtualport XML node cannot be parsed
    properly
  - parsing hex and decimal numbers using virStrToLong_ui() with
    parameter '0' for base
  - tgifname (target interface name) variable wasn't necessary
    to pass to openMacvtapTap function anymore
- assigning the virtual port data structure to the virDomainNetDef
  only if it was previously parsed
- make sure that the error code returned by openMacvtapTap() is a negative n
  in case the associatePortProfileId() function failed.
- renaming vsi in the XML to virtualport
- replace all occurrences of vsi in the source as well
- removing mode and MAC address parameters from the functions that
  will communicate with the hareware diretctly or indirectly
- moving the associate and disassociate functions to the end of the
  file for subsequent patches to easier make them generally available
  for export
- passing the macvtap interface name rather than the link device since
  this otherwise gives funny side effects when using netlink messages
  where IFLA_IFNAME and IFLA_ADDRESS are specified and the link dev
  all of a sudden gets the MAC address of the macvtap interface.
- Removing rc = -1 error indications in the case of 802.1Qbg|h setup in case
  we wanted to use hook scripts for the setup and so the setup doesn't fail
  here.
- if instance ID UUID is not supplied it will automatically be generated
  - adapted schema to make instance ID UUID optional
  - added test case
- parser and XML generator have been separated into their own
  functions so they can be re-used elsewhere (passthrough case
  for example)
- Adapted XML parser and generator support the above shown type
  (802.1Qbg, 802.1Qbh).
- Adapted schema to above XML
- Adapted test XML to above XML
- Passing through the VM's UUID which seems to be necessary for
  802.1Qbh -- sorry no host UUID
- adding virtual function ID to association function, in case it's
  necessary to use (for SR-IOV)

Also rename ReportError to macvtapError.

* global: patch created by running:

This patch sets or unsets the IFF_VNET_HDR flag depending on what device
is used in the VM. The manipulation of the flag is done in the open
function and is only fatal if the IFF_VNET_HDR flag could not be cleared
although it has to be (or if an ioctl generally fails). In that case the
macvtap tap is closed again and the macvtap interface torn.

* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: pass qemuCmdFlags to
  qemudPhysIfaceConnect()
* src/util/macvtap.c src/util/macvtap.h: add vnet_hdr boolean to
  openMacvtapTap(), and private function configMacvtapTap()
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: add extra qemuCmdFlags when calling
  qemudPhysIfaceConnect()

Rework and simplification of teardown of the macvtap device.

Basically all devices with the same MAC address and link device are kept
alive and not attempted to be torn down. If a macvtap device linked to a
physical interface with a certain MAC address 'M' is to be created it
will automatically fail if the interface is 'up'ed and another macvtap
with the same properties (MAC addr 'M', link dev) happens to be 'up'.
This will prevent the VM from starting or the device from being attached
to a running VM. Stale interfaces are assumed to be there for some
reason and not stem from libvirt.

In the VM shutdown path, it's assuming that an interface name is always
available so that if the device type is DIRECT it can be torn down
using its name.

* src/util/macvtap.h src/libvirt_macvtap.syms: change of deleting routine
* src/util/macvtap.c: cleanups and change of deleting routine
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: change cleanup on shutdown
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: don't delete Macvtap in qemudPhysIfaceConnect()

This part adds the helper code to setup and tear down macvtap devices
using direct communication with the device driver via netlink sockets.
The rather short messages received from the netlink layer are now
written into a dynamically allocated buffer

* src/util/macvtap.h src/util/macvtap.c: provides the new module
* po/POTFILES.in: the module contains translated strings

This part adds support to domain_conf.{c|h} for parsing the new
interface XML of type 'direct'. The parsed mode is now stored as
an int.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c src/conf/domain_conf.h: extend parsing code
* src/util/macvtap.h: empty header to not break compilation

This patch adds build support for libvirt checking for certain contents
of /usr/include/linux/if_link.h to see whether macvtap support is
compilable on that system. One can disable macvtap support in libvirt
via --without-macvtap passed to configure.
* configure.ac src/Makefile.am: new build support
* src/libvirt_macvtap.syms: list of exported symbols
* src/util/macvtap.c: empty module to not break compilation
