Auto-configuration is the name of a new configuration target that is
supported by chzdev and lszdev besides the existing active and
persistent configuration targets. Directives created in this new
configuration are stored as udev rules in the /run/udev/rules.d
directory.
Auto-configuration directives are only in effect if there are no
directives for the same device in the user-provided persistent
configuration. This allows users to override auto-configuration
directives if necessary.
Due to the volatile nature of the /run directory, auto-configuration
directives are cleared on reboot. Therefore mechanisms that generate
auto-configuration directives must recreate them on every boot.
The lszdev tool displays auto-configuration data both in list view
as well as in detail view. Users can specify the new option --auto-conf
to only show data from this configuration target.
Mechanisms that generate automated configuration directives can use
chzdev together with the --auto-conf option to create the corresponding
udev rules.
Note: This change does not include a mechanism that generates
auto-configuration directives.

Apply some changes to existing functions and data structures to simplify
the firmware configuration file support implementation.
- Make qeth and dasd subtype objects non-static
- Change the existing helper functions for reading file contents into
memory to also support binary functions
- Move some configuration file import functions to make them available
for use in other source files

This patch fixes a segfault in the qeth get_layer function that occurs
when an unknown attribute is used in combination with the force option.

This patch adds support for the qeth attributes that are used to
configure VNIC Characteristics.
VNIC Characteristics and BridgePort are mutually exclusive. Thus, this
patch also adds a check function for conflicting settings to the qeth
code. Also, the output when VNIC Characteristics is active is added to
the BridgePort attribute descriptions.

Currently, the qeth attributes that are used to configure IPv6 NDP proxy
are described as ARP proxy attributes. This patch changes the titles and
descriptions from ARP to NDP.
