[Xen-devel] [PATCH v15 1/7] remus: add libnl3 dependency for network buffering support

[Yang Hongyang <yanghy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.

when there's no network buffering support,libxl__netbuffer_enabled()
returns 0, otherwise returns 1. The callers of this api will be
introduced in the rest of the series.

NOTE: This patch changes tools/configure.ac, please rerun
      autogen.sh while apply the patch.
