Re: [meta-virtualization][PATCH v2] libvirt-dbus: disable -Werror=inline to fix build error

[Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@gmail.com>]

I had already merged v1, but since upstream hasn't done an official
release in quite some time, I've gone ahead and changed this to
a PV+git and moved to the tip of the tree.

Which allowed me to drop the CFLAGS:append = " -Wno-error=inline"
