Wei Liu f9c9b12775 tools: fix "make distclean"
The original rule to target "distclean" in tools/Rules.mk was in effect
"make clean". It should be "make distclean".

However not all Makefiles in subdirectories have distclean target
defined. So this patch also adds a bunch of distclean targets to various
Makefiles. They only depend on clean target and don't have any actions
in most cases.

With the patch applied, following command outputs 0 results:

  find tools -name 'Makefile*' -exec grep -L 'distclean' {} \+ \
     | grep -v ocaml | grep -v libfsimage

Ocaml and libfsimage are known to have distclean defined in a dedicated
rules file.

Ian Campbell 61d0fe74c6 tools: Remove $(CFLAGS) from links lines.
The relevant variable in these circumstances is called $(LDFLAGS).

Ian Campbell 5ba627e3ab tools: drop further uses of -Wp,-MD,.$(@F).d to generate dependencies.
19025:bd78714b8594 switched to "-MMD -MF" in preference, adding the
correct runes to tools/Rules.mk but appears to have missed some other
uses of -Wp,...

Keir Fraser 547cb1849c build: Make XEN_ROOT an absolute path.
Otherwise make can search the path relative to certain standard paths
such as /usr/include (e.g., the line '-include $(XEN_ROOT)/.config' in
Config.mk suffers from this).

Keir Fraser 3026986b0f blktap2: fix makefile of blktap2
- clean up to use SUBDIRS-y
- With parallel make, libvhd might not be created before
  link. guarantee it.
- use LDFLAGS for link which is set by upper level makefiles.

Keir Fraser bd5573a630 blktap2: a completely rewritten blktap implementation
Benefits to blktap2 over the old version of blktap:

* Isolation from xenstore - Blktap devices are now created directly on
   the linux dom0 command line, rather than being spawned in response
   to XenStore events.  This is handy for debugging, makes blktap
   generally easier to work with, and is a step toward a generic
   user-level block device implementation that is not Xen-specific.

* Improved tapdisk infrastructure: simpler request forwarding, new
   request scheduler, request merging, more efficient use of AIO.

* Improved tapdisk error handling and memory management.  No
   allocations on the block data path, IO retry logic to protect
   guests
   transient block device failures.  This has been tested and is known
   to work on weird environments such as NFS soft mounts.

* Pause and snapshot of live virtual disks (see xmsnap script).

* VHD support.  The VHD code in this release has been rigorously
   tested, and represents a very mature implementation of the VHD
   image
   format.

* No more duplication of mechanism with blkback.  The blktap kernel
   module has changed dramatically from the original blktap.  Blkback
   is now always used to talk to Xen guests, blktap just presents a
   Linux gendisk that blkback can export.  This is done while
   preserving the zero-copy data path from domU to physical device.

These patches deprecate the old blktap code, which can hopefully be
removed from the tree completely at some point in the future.
