    Tapdisk control in userspace, a replacement for the original blktap2
    control stack, which had to pass a kernel space interface based on
    sysfs nodes.
    
    All tapdisk processes listen for commands on a unix stream socket. The
    control library supports scanning the socket namespace for running
    tapdisks, VBD minors allocated, associated images and state inquiry.
    
    Control operations include allocating/releasing devices, spawning
    tapdisks, opening/closing images, attaching disk images to
    devices. disk pause/resume operations and runtime switching of disk
    images.
