[libvirt] [PATCH 0/3] Fix Mac OS X build issues (and probably also BSD)

While compiling libvirt on a Mac OS X machine, the build failed tue to several
reasons. This patchset fixes these issues and along with another patch
that removes shadowed declarations of "devname" from stdlib.h on BSD based
systems causes libvirt to compile cleanly.

These patches were tested on v0.9.5-rc2 as I don't have the complete
toolchain to do ./autogen.sh on a gitcheckout.

Problems found:
- fdatasync() is not supported on OS X.
- Conditionaly compiled structure was left out but function using it was not.
- OS X does not provide a 'mkfs' command, so the MKFS macro was not set.
- /usr/include/stdlib.h exports 'devname' wildly used through libvirt

Peter Krempa (3):
  build: storage: fdatasync() is not supported in Mac OS X.
  build: storage: Conditionaly compiled structure caused build fail on OSX
  build: storage: Macro 'MKFS' is undefined on some platforms.
