[meta-virtualization] [PATCH] libvirt: add dtrace pkgconfig option

[Bruce Ashfield]

If the host machine has dtrace, or systemtap development libraries
installed, libvirt will detect their headers and enable dtrace probe
support.

But since we don't have a dependency on dtrace, the build will fail
with:

  | compilation terminated.
  | In file included from ./internal.h:297:0,
  | from util/bitmap.h:27,
  | from util/bitmap.c:33:
  | ./libvirt_probes.h:9:21: fatal error: sys/sdt.h: No such file or directory

There are three problems:

  - a host contamination issue
  - dtrace/probes being automatically enabled
  - a lack of integrated systemtap/dtrace solution

Fixing any of the above will make the problem go away, to fix currently
broken builds, we can fix the problem by adding dtrace as a PACKAGECONFIG
option, and leaving it disabled. This change doesn't add a dtrace/systemtap
dependency to the config entry, since they haven't been confirmed at this
point.

In the future, we should either fix the host contamination or do a full
systemtap/dtrae integration, but for now, simply disabling it is the
best choice.

Sending this patch out for comment, it's minor change. If there are no objections,
I'll push it into the repository tomorrow.

Cheers,

Bruce
