1. Some files use stat, mkfifo, mkdir etc. without including
sys/stat.h
2. Some programs link against libpthread without a -lpthread compile
option. The compile used to work if this library happened to be used
by one of the other libraries that was being linked against, but
Fedora 13 has stopped allowing this.

sub make in tools/blktap2/daemon/lib and tools/lvd/lib
can be triggered many times at the same time which results in
weired link error because one target is linking a library while
another target is trying to recreate the library.
This patch makes it invoke submake only once.

- 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.
