Doc Text:

Description Alon Bar-Lev 2012-10-28 10:14:48 UTC
Old bootstrap code used the netinfo without starting libvirtd.
Now the vdsm.netinfo requires active libvirtd.
As result the bridge creation fails.

    api: start libvirtd when netinfo module is loaded
    
    The old bootstrap code does not start the libvirtd service before
    using the netinfo module.
    
    The current vdsm.netinfo needs running libvirtd or it fails.
    
    This patch starts the libvirtd service during the import of the
    compatibility module.
