[Xen-devel] [PATCH 6 of 9 RFC v3] blktap3/libblktapctl: Introduce block device control information retrieval functionality

[Thanos Makatos <thanos.makatos@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This patch introduces function tap_ctl_info. It is used by the tapback daemon
to retrieve the size of the block device, as well as the sector size,  in order
to communicate it to blkfront so that it can create the virtual block device.

---
Changed since v2:
  * Simplified error checking after calling tap_ctl_connect_send_and_receive.
