Now that we have xfer_vreopen() as the default .vredirect handler,
sending redirection events can become simpler.

Eliminate the potential for mismatches between table names and the
table entry data type by incorporating the data type into the
definition of the table, rather than specifying it explicitly in each
table accessor method.

Intel's C compiler (icc) chokes on the zero-length arrays that we
currently use as part of the mechanism for accessing linker table
entries.  Abstract away the zero-length arrays, to make a port to icc
easier.

Introduce macros such as for_each_table_entry() to simplify the common
case of iterating over all entries in a linker table.

Represent table names as #defined string constants rather than
unquoted literals; this avoids visual confusion between table names
and C variable or type names, and also allows us to force a
compilation error in the event of incorrect table names.

separate xfer method.

Add missing .alloc_iob entries to several xfer_interface_operations
structures.

which respond to close with a reopen() (e.g. iSCSI).

xfer_window() function, which can return a scalar rather than a
boolean.

around which still hold pointers to variables belonging to our parent...

names.

Add "dev" pointer in struct net_device to tie network interfaces back to a
hardware device.

Force natural alignment of data types in __table() macros.  This seems to
prevent gcc from taking the unilateral decision to occasionally increase
their alignment (which screws up the table packing).

defined in vsprintf.h.  (This may change, since vsprintf.h is a
non-standard name, but for now it's the one to use.)

There should be no need to include vsprintf.h just for DBG() statements,
since include/compiler.h forces it in for a debug build anyway.
