[PATCH for-4.5 v21 04/14] libxl: Extend libxl__ao_device with a libxl__ev_child member

[Yang Hongyang <yanghy@cn.fujitsu.com>]

This can be used to fork children to allow the asynchronous execution
of system calls which only come in a synchronous variant. This will
be useful for Remus, in the following patches.
