VirtFS (fileserver base on 9P) performs many blocking system calls in the 
vCPU context. This effort is to move the blocking calls out of vCPU/IO 
thread context, into asynchronous threads.

Anthony's " Add hard build dependency on glib" patch and 
Kevin/Stefan's coroutine effort is a prerequisite.

This patch set contains:
 - Converting all 9pfs calls into coroutines. 
 - Each 9P operation will be modified for:
    - Remove post* functions. These are our call back functions which makes 
      the code very hard to read. Now with coroutines, we can achieve the same 
      state machine model with nice sequential code flow.
    - Move errno access near to the local_syscall()
    - Introduce asynchronous threading

This series has the basic infrastructure and few routines like 
mkdir,monod,unlink,readdir,xattr,lstat, etc converted. 
Currently we are working on converting and testing other 9P operations also 
into this model and those patches will follow shortly.

Removing callback functions made some of the patches little lengthy. 
Here is the git tree for the reviewer convenience.
