[lxc-devel] [PATCH 5/9] network: introduce a interface named lxc_netdev_isup().

[Serge Hallyn]

Quoting Dongsheng Yang (yangds.fnst at cn.fujitsu.com):
> When we need to know some info about a netdev, such as is_up or not,
> we need to read the flag for the netdev.
> 
> This patch introduce a interface function named lxc_netdev_isup()
> to check is a netdev up or down.
> 
> And introduce a network private function named netdev_get_flag()
> to get flag for netdev by netlink.

Don't return true/false in fns marked with int return type.

Looks good otherwise.  Please resolve this however you prefer and
resend.
