Description

Some users would like to include lustre_user.h or lustreapi.h in C++ applications. There are a few compatibility issues currently preventing this.

$ cat a.c
#include <lustre/lustre_user.h>
$ g++ -c a.c

While we're at it, we may also want to clean up these warnings which are normally suppressed because they're in a system header.
