Wen Liang 6da4464154 platform: track kernel support for IFLA_PERM_ADDRESS
Track whether kernel supports netlink API IFLA_PERM_ADDRESS. To use the
platform cache preferably if kernel supports IFLA_PERM_ADDRESS. To fall
back to the old ethtool call directly if kernel does not support
IFLA_PERM_ADDRESS.

src/

Most of the subdirectories are static helper libraries, which get linked into one of the final build artifacts (like libnm, nmcli or NetworkManager). Static libraries are internal API.

The only public API is libnm, which is a shared library provided client implementations.

Our own clients (like nmcli and nmtui) also use libnm, the shared library. But they also use additional static helper libraries.

The daemon statically links against a part of libnm, the part that provides connection profiles. That is libnm-core. libnm-core is thus statically linked with libnm and the daemon. It does not get linked by clients that already link with libnm (like nmtui).
