This series introduces support for blktap3 in libxl and adds the basis of the
blktap3 build system. There is no essential blktap3 functionality yet: all
blktap3 functions are stubs and they will be implemented in later patches. This
means that trying to use tap as the disk backend for a guest will make libxl
complain since all of blktap3 functions return a failure error code. Most
header files introduced in this series require some basic documentation.
Finally, licenses need to be verified.
