Fedora rawhide builds of libvirt.git at commit d53fa838^ failed
due to the new glibc 2.25 deprecation warning for use of major()
from just <sys/types.h>; I also found that the same warning is
provoked by gnulib's mountlist module. Libvirt commit d53fa838
was a temporary hack to work around the problem, and I will be
reverting that and updating to newer gnulib once this goes in.
I've tested that libvirt on Fedora rawhide with d53fa838 reverted
and gnulib updated to this commit was once again able to build.
Comments welcome, particularly for my choice of wording in
documentation changes. The final push will differ slightly from
this, especially if the autoconf patch going in first changes
slightly due to review there, but this should give a good idea
of the fix.

New subject: [libvirt] [PATCH 1/2] mountlist: include sysmacros.h for glibc
On Fedora rawhide (glibc 2.25), './gnulib-tool --test mountlist'
reports:
../../gllib/mountlist.c: In function 'read_file_system_list':
../../gllib/mountlist.c:534:13: warning: '__makedev_from_sys_types' is
deprecated:
In the GNU C Library, `makedev' is defined by <sys/sysmacros.h>.
For historical compatibility, it is currently defined by
<sys/types.h> as well, but we plan to remove this soon.
To use `makedev', include <sys/sysmacros.h> directly.
If you did not intend to use a system-defined macro `makedev',
you should #undef it after including <sys/types.h>.
[-Wdeprecated-declarations]
me->me_dev = makedev (devmaj, devmin);

Fix it by including the right headers. We also need a fix to
autoconf's AC_HEADER_MAJOR, but that's a separate patch.
* m4/mountlist.m4 (gl_PREREQ_MOUTLIST_EXTRA): Include
AC_HEADER_MAJOR.
* lib/mountlist.c (includes): Use correct headers.

New subject: [libvirt] [PATCH 2/2] sys_types: avoid glibc 2.25 warnings about major()
Todo: tweak sys_types_h.m4 comment before pushing
glibc 2.25 is deprecating the namespace pollution of <sys/types.h>
injecting major(), minor(), and makedev() into the compilation
environment, with a warning that insists that users include
<sys/sysmacros.h> instead. However, because the expansion of
AC_HEADER_MAJOR didn't bother checking sys/sysmacros.h until
after probing whether sys/types.h pollutes the namespace, it was
not defining MAJOR_IN_SYSMACROS, with the result that code
compiled with -Werror chokes on the deprecation warnings because
it was not including sysmacros.h.
Backport the autoconf fix, so that gnulib projects avoid the
warnings even when using older autoconf.
* m4/sys_types_h.m4 (AC_HEADER_MAJOR): Replace broken version in
older autoconf.
* doc/posix-headers/sys_types.texi (sys/types.h): Document fix.
* doc/glibc-functions/gnu_dev_major.texi (gnu_dev_major): Likewise.
* doc/glibc-functions/gnu_dev_makedev.texi (gnu_dev_makedev): Likewise.
* doc/glibc-functions/gnu_dev_minor.texi (gnu_dev_minor): Likewise.

Obviously, I'll be tweaking this slightly to list an actual
commit id that gets pushed to autoconf, but posting now for
review.
