Indeed, that was just missed during the removal, we can't link to
libpcap any more.

How do we want to take this patch in, and where is it needed? I hadn't
planned to send a UML PR to -rc still, but I guess I _can_ if needed?
But if anyone else wants to line it up through a tree (rust related?)
that has pending work anyway, that seems fair too. In which case:

Acked-by: Johannes Berg <johannes at sipsolutions.net>

Or it's not that urgent because all this came up in -next now? I didn't
really see (or fully understand) all the build bug reports.
