[libvirt] [PATCH] Add a define for NFS_SUPER_MAGIC

[Eric Blake]

According to Chris Lalancette on 3/3/2010 10:44 AM:
>> #ifdef __linux__
>> # include <sys/vfs.h>
>> # ifndef NFS_SUPER_MAGIC
>> #  define NFS_SUPER_MAGIC 0x6969
>> # endif /* NFS_SUPER_MAGIC */
>> #endif /* __linux__ */

With K&R preprocessors, the # had to be in column 1, but you could have
space between the # and the directive.  But C89 (21 years ago!) changed
things and required support for arbitrary indentation on both sides of #
(not that everyone obeyed C89 right away, but still...).

Autoconf-generated files are proof of the portability of arbitrary CPP
indentation - just look at ./configure, and notice all the sample C
programs it compiles, with preprocessor indentation all over the place.

Jim introduced me to it via coreutils and gnulib, and it really does save
some headaches when dealing with deep nestings of #ifdef (of course, the
goal is to not nest deeply in the first place; but even that goal is
served by following consistent indentation rules, to call visual attention
to the depth).
