   An update that has 7 recommended fixes can now be
   installed. It includes one version update.

Description:


   This is a collective update to libvirt and libnetcontrol.
   In libvirt, the  following issues have been resolved:

   * Add upstream patch to make PCI multifunction support
   more manual (bnc#753313).
   * Fix libvirtd deadlock on shutdown (bnc#767797).
   * Check for errors when parsing bridge interface XML
   (bnc#760500).
   * Improve error reporting when parsing domainXML
   character devices (bnc#761314).
   * Add upstream patch to fix ref count of virNetServer
   object.
   * Fix 'make uninstall' error.

   Libnetcontrol was updated to version 0.2.6, resolving
   issues reported in  bnc#760500, bnc#763388, bnc#765040 and
   bnc#754001:

   * Fetch IP addresses and routes in system refresh via
   netlink, adds libnl-1 dependency to libnetcontrol.
   * Do not use -o rc for ifup or it fails when startmode
   is set to manual.
   * Always call ifstatus in ncf_if_status and not check
   interface operstate to better match ifstatus results.
   * Check type while creating topology tree as well, not
   only if the interface specific data exists.
   * Do not report error in ncf_if_xml_state when
   interface does not exist any more.
   * Improved error handling, report several errors once.
   * Expose a lot of error details to the caller.
   * Fixed to parse and configure complete interface trees
   and fixed a senseless type check that caused SEGV.
   * Fetch MAC address from system when not in the
   configuration.
   * Fixed ARP IP target bonding option handling and
   expose errors while trying to add not unique slave
   interface.
   * Refresh config handle earlier in ncf_define, fixed a
   double free in regression test.
   * Automatically start port/slave/base interfaces when
   stating a bridge/bond/vlan.
