Some of the networking tools, such as iproute2, can be stored in one of
several locations. This function gives us a standard way to find these
tools.
I would like to thankRobin Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org> for his input on
this function.
This reverts commit f583030e3c.
The previous commit did not account for the case of not having iproute2
installed.

The old behaviour was to exit(EXIT_SUCCESS) in case the service has been stopped
already, even if further commands has been passed to the init script
(like zap, start).
So using for example /etc/init.d/foo stop zap start would abort immediately
after "stop" if the service has been stopped already. Though there may be cases
were we need it to proceed with the remaining commands, zap and start in this
case.
This patch fixes the behaviour to continue and proceed with the remaining
commands whenever necessary.

This test is incorrect, and we do not need the modprobe. If macvlan is a
module, it is automatically modprobed when the first macvlan link is
added. Also, the /sys directory referred to in the test does not exist
if macvlan is built into the kernel.

During the sysinit and shutdown runlevels the logfile destination may be
read-only. Skip the error messages in this case.

The logfile or its basedir may be read-only during shutdown because the
directory may be umounted or read-only remounted already. In this case we simply
skip this error.
This is related to a comment in bug 390645 but the initial bug is not fixed
through this commit.

During stop of an interface, if it has been removed already (eg
hotunplug), not existing is fine.

Since commit 683a21b0a in Feburary 2011, iproute2 has been required for
new VLAN configuration. MACVLAN is also impossible to configure without
iproute2. However we did not check if iproute2 was actually in the
modules for a given interface, so it could end up hanging or giving
weird errors. Check for iproute2 before usage now.

We need to create interfaces of custom names before we can sucessfully
start them. To do this, we have to add tunnels during prestart instead
of start. Split up the ip6to4 script to do this, saving the computed
variables for use in start with the new service data commands.

Historically, we have tried to up interfaces before running preup, so
that the kernel setups up the device and makes things like ethtool work
(some hardware cannot be correct probed until then). However this ends
up breaking other hardware, so a variable has been introduced to allow
the up prior to preup to be disabled: up_before_preup_IFVAR=no

Broadcast and IPv6 should not be used together. Do not try to set the
keyword for auto-generation of the broadcast address. If the user passes
a broadcast address for IPv6, throw an error.

Several of the optional flags were not being handled correctly, they
were being passed as values only, without the keyword before them.
Affected keywords: anycast, label, scope, valid_lft, preferred_lft
Also change the handling of keywords to a common setup now, making
broadcast and peer strings the same as the above keywords.

Currently, cgroups are still in development, so we are not setting them
up by default. However, this default will be changed in the future.

The linux kernel documentation suggests mounting a separate cgroup
hierarchy for each subsystem you want to control/monitor. This changes
the cgroups mounting code to do this.
For creation of routing policy entries for IPv6, the family must be
explicitly specified to 'ip'.

Provide consistent methods using iproute2/ifconfig to check operational
and administrative up/down state of interfaces. This is not the same as
ethtool's "Link detected" field, which is the state of the layer 2
medium.

The old ifenslave binary forcibly set new slave interface to down before
adding into the kernel, as a way of show it's version to the kernel. We
need to duplicate this so that the kernel doesn't think it's an old
ifenslave version using the bonding setup interface.
