[netcf-devel] [PATCH 0/3] Add ncf_if_xml_state to report live interface config

The backend of this uses ioctl(SIOCGIFADDR), instead of the NETLINK
socket (which is the proper way to do it), which limits it to
IPv4-only, and just a single IP address per interface. This is just
temporary until I understand netlink better (and it does happen to
meet the requirements of most users), and allows us to give the new
API a workout in the meantime.

Note that I just added the function name into the public symbol list
in the NETCF_1.0.0 section, since the actual version is still at
0.1.1, so I'm not sure what to do with it...
