> hv_kvp_daemon fails to start in current openSuSE 13.1 snapshots because
> the kvp_send_buffer is too small to hold cn_msg+hv_kvp_msg, the very
> first sendmsg returns with EFAULT. In addition it fixes the Network info
> tab in Windows Server 2012R2 in SLES11.

> Adjust the code in kvp and vss daemon to allocate the needed buffers at
> runtime. To keep the code simple, the buffer_len includes also the
> nlmsghdr, although only the recv_buffer needs this extra space.
