Netlink support for recent FreeBSD guests
Will avoid wasting cycles periodically checking for network changes, and will report them instantly.
This is a meta-ticket, as the code is ready here, and can be built using the relevant libc PR; it is waiting for support in libc, provided by the following PRs:
- on the
libcmain branch (for theirv1.0):- Netlink support in
libcfor FreeBSD -
API-breaking change in
libcnecessary for the former, which is scheduled for the next major release
- Netlink support in
- on the
libc-0.2branch, the same contents, but hiding the feature and API-breaking change behind a feature, to make it non-breaking by default: Freebsd Netlink support backported
