[Libvirt-cim] [PATCH 00/15] vlan extension

First and foremost, thank you, Wayne. The design looks well thought-out the code 
appears complete. I took a quick first pass to review and respond to some of the 
patches. However, it occurred to me we should break this work into a few phases. 
We did something like this with the ACL code and it helped the review, test, and 
integration for the most part.

Given the amount and complexity of the code, here's my suggestion:

Phase 1: read-only support for existing bridges and VLANs
Re-factor and reduce the current patch-set to only include the read-only aspects 
of the libraries and providers. This will cut the code to review significantly 
and can act as the foundation to the follow-on patch sets.

Example:
patch 0 - Summary of you changes and quick overview of your implementation. It's 
a good idea to also include some sample wbemcli commands that folks can use to 
verify the function.
patch 1 - libxkutil updates & additions (read-only operations)
patch 2 - schema updates & additions
patch 3 - provider updates & additions (read-only operations)
patch 4 - cimtest case

Phase 2: read-write support for bridge and VLANs
This is simply incremental to support Create/Modify/Delete instance as needed 
and InvokeMethod

Example:
patch 0 - Summary of additions/changes including new wbemcli examples.
patch 1 - libxkutil updates & additions (write operations)
patch 2 - provider updates & additions (write operations)
patch 3 - cimtest case

Phase 3: Associations (linking VLANs/bridge and network to VM)
Incremental support for reading, and if needed writing, Associatotions

Example:
patch 0 - Summary of additions/changes including new wbemcli examples.
patch 1 - libxkutil updates & additions (new write operations?)
patch 2 - provider updates & additions (association operations)
patch 3- cimtest case

I'd like to at least get the phase 0 (see below) code reviewed and pushed next 
week. Let me know if you think that is reasonable given that some low-level code 
needs to be updated to use OS APIs (as opposed to command line parsing).
