Description 
When creating a domU with mutiple file-backed vbds, mutiple lofiadm instances can run at the same time and race with each other. This can cause vbd creation to fail. In order to prevent the racing, we should serialize the lofi device creation. This has to be done in xdb since we attach xdb one by one in dom0. So, we need to modify lofictl to accept kernel ioctl.
