Daniel Stodden suggested to eliminate vbd.c and interface.c, inlining the
critical bits where they belong, respectively.

Leaving only blkback.c for the data- and xenbus.c for the control path.

checkpatch.pl suggested that we don't use the typdef in common.h
and this triggered this avalanche of patches.

A guest can cause the backend driver to leak a kernel thread. Such
leaked threads hold references to the device, whichmakes the device
impossible to tear down. If shut down, the guest remains a zombie
domain, the xenwatch process hangs, and most xm commands will stop
working.

This patch tries to do the following for blkback:
    - identify/extract idempotent teardown operations,
    - add/move the invocation of said teardown operation
      right before we're about to allocate new resources in the
      Connected states.

First cut at flushing blkback data when first connecting
blkback.  This should avoid the pygrub issues we are experiencing
in (RedHat bugzilla) 466681.

We neglect to check the return value of xenbus_register_backend
and take actions when that fails. This patch fixes that and adds
code to deal with those type of failures.
