[OE-core] [PATCH 0/1] pseudo 1.7.5

tarball submitted, but this won't work without it... but you should
be able to use pseudo_git if you want to see the new shiny.

Long story short, there has always been a race condition if enough
clients were trying to simultaneously start a server, but that doesn't
come up much. But a while back, I added a "feature" where "pseudo <cmd>"
would try to shut the server down cleanly after running the command,
which is great for casual command-line use, but meant that we would
actually hit the race condition.

Respawn logic drastically reworked, various other changes made to
make this less likely to come up, and so on.

Also, pseudo will now abort() if the client can't get a server, which
could conceivably break things, *but*, it should only be breaking things
which have in fact been broken all along, we just didn't know it.

Also a bug fix for cases where mknod is called with only file permission
bits to create an ordinary file, which GNU tar does if and only if trying
to extract xattrs apparently (!?!??), and then a followup workaround for
a problem making ext4 filesystems, where I'm pretty sure the behavior was
right to begin with but this workaround lets things progress in the mean
time.

Whee.
