We had a problem when compiling the actual code in the Virtual Machine,
where the compiler wouldn't initialize all the struct fields with 0.
It's probably because we have an older version of gcc there

Our MDP worker is not a socket type and can't be
poll'ed agains. Now, we fixed this by modifying
the MDP library allowing us to exit mdp_workder_recv
internal poll () and check for incoming messages from
other sockets, such as the PIPE one.

This fixes #24 github issue

Now, each SMIO will deal with the traditional
Majordomo socket and the additional PIPE socket
for monitoring messages. For now, every message
is interpreted as a self-destruct one.

This fixed #79 github issue

Mounting the LOG directory is not needed anymore

Previously we were not calling the appropriate functions to cleanly
destroy all alloc'ed objects.

These are just convenient wrappers for standard C strtoul ()
function

This hash is used to hold the values we get from zconfigm,
but we don't need to destruct the objects ourselves on reading
them. That's the job of the zconfig itself.

This closes #83 github issue

This fixes #81 github issue.

This is a trivial bug, in which we weren't checking for the
validity of the requested channel number.

The correct return error is channel out of range, which
is ACQ_NUM_CHAN_OOR and not ACQ_NUM_SAMPLES_OOR.
