[Xen-devel] [PATCH V8 1/8] remus: add libnl3 dependency to autoconf scripts

[Yang Hongyang <yanghy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Shriram Rajagopalan <rshriram@xxxxxxxxx>

Libnl3 is required for controlling Remus network buffering.
This patch adds dependency on libnl3 (>= 3.2.8) to autoconf scripts.
Also provide ability to configure tools without libnl3 support, that
is without network buffering support.

 Second, you need to acquire a suitable kernel for use in domain 0. If
 possible you should use a kernel provided by your OS distributor. If
