    tools/libxs: Use writev()/sendmsg() instead of write()
    
    With the input data now conveniently arranged, use writev()/sendmsg() 
instead
    of decomposing it into write() calls.
    
    This causes all requests to be submitted with a single system call, rather
    than at least two.  While in principle short writes can occur, the chances 
of
    it happening are slim given that most xenbus comms are only a handful of
    bytes.
    
    Nevertheless, provide {writev,sendmsg}_exact() wrappers which take care of
    resubmitting on EINTR or short write.
