xenpaging: remove XOPEN_SOURCE

The XOPEN_SOURCE define was breaking the compilation under NetBSD.
I've removed it becasue it is not necessary (at least under NetBSD).
If it is necessary for Linux, we can add a ifdef conditional to remove
this only under NetBSD.

How?

Removing it seems to not break Linux, at least for me.

Indeed. Both the commit that added it [1] [2] and this patch provide 
very little useful info in their respective messages. It's interesting 
because it could point out a SUSv3 incompatibility in in NetBSD.

The stuff made visible by _GNU_SOURCE (with glibc) includes everything 
_XOPEN_SOURCE makes visible [3]. [4] introduced it because of asprintf().

If _XOPEN_SOUCE is defined, then the compiler cannot find the
prototype of asprintf and it throws a warning that stops the
compilation.

This is because the prototype of asprintf is declared as follows under NetBSD:

#if defined(_NETBSD_SOURCE)
[...]
int      asprintf(char ** __restrict, const char * __restrict, ...)
                __printflike(2, 3);
[...]
#endif

And _NETBSD_SOURCE is defined if:

#if !defined(_ANSI_SOURCE) && !defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) && \
    !defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE) && !defined(_NETBSD_SOURCE)
#define _NETBSD_SOURCE 1
#endif

Probably the asprintf prototype should be defined as:

#if defined(_NETBSD_SOURCE) || defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE)
[...]
int      asprintf(char ** __restrict, const char * __restrict, ...)
                __printflike(2, 3);

If it's not necessary I think it's best to remove the definition, to
avoid having a lot of useless defines all over the code.

I disagree.  The purpose of these kind of macros is purely to allow
systems to claim standards-compliance and absence of namespace
pollution, by default.

The logical conclusion is that these kind of problems should be fixed
by adding more requests for platform-specific features, not removing
them.

In this case that would mean adding:
 #define _NETBSD_SOURCE

If the prevalance of these kind of macros is getting irritating they
can easily be moved into a common header file somewhere.

Ian.

Ok, I will resend the patch adding _NETBSD_SOURCE instead of removing
_XOPEN_SOURCE.

How do other source files with asprintf() calls compile for you? (libxl)
Why is xenpaging special?

libxl doesn't define _XOPEN_SOURCE although it uses asprintf, and
other places that define _XOPEN_SOURCE don't use asprintf, that's why
I didn't have problems with that before.

Please resend with the exact error message in NetBSD.

24223:9e3c2ef70c8a should have removed  _XOPEN_SOURCE, and
22023:af6799abc6e9 should have added  _GNU_SOURCE in the first place
(and give the exact error message as well).

Other than that:
