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.

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).

Linker command lines are order-sensitive.
Move linker options -Lfoo -lfoo from LDFLAGS to LDLIBS and place this new
variable after the objects to link. This resolves build errors in xenpagin
and blktap with recent toolchains.
rename SHLIB_CFLAGS to SHLIB_LDFLAGS
rename LDFLAGS_* to LDLIBS_*
move LDFLAGS usage after CFLAGS in CC calls
remove stale comments in xenpaging Makefile

Tapdisk control in userspace, a replacement for the original blktap2
control stack, which had to pass a kernel space interface based on
sysfs nodes.
All tapdisk processes listen for commands on a unix stream socket. The
control library supports scanning the socket namespace for running
tapdisks, VBD minors allocated, associated images and state inquiry.
Control operations include allocating/releasing devices, spawning
tapdisks, opening/closing images, attaching disk images to
devices. disk pause/resume operations and runtime switching of disk
images.

This patch re-enables a useful blktap1 for users who disable blktap2.
Itremoves tapdisk and blktapctrl from blktap2, both of which cause
problems with blktap operation. In addition, this patch modifies xend
to check for blktap2 installation. If the blktap2 driver isn't
running (hopefully because the dom0 kernel option wasn't selected) we
fall back to blktap.

- 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.

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.
