Rather than make all callers to PROBE deal with the stupidity of <sys/sdt.h>, we instead make PROBE cast away the problem. Some of this preprocessor abuse copies ideas in src/libvirt.c. * daemon/libvirtd.h (PROBE): Add casts to all arguments, using... (VIR_ADD_CASTS, VIR_ADD_CAST, VIR_ADD_CAST2, VIR_ADD_CAST3) (VIR_ADD_CAST_EXPAND, VIR_ADD_CAST_PASTE, VIR_COUNT_ARGS) (VIR_ARG5, PROBE_EXPAND): New macros.
