This patch simplifies the host-side work in the new /usr zfs filesystem build process. Previously, we copied the files to a temporary directory, used "cpio" to archive them and sent its output to the guest with "netcat". With this patch, we no longer have a temporary directory, and do not need either cpio or netcat on the build machine. Rather, mkzfs.py itself, using python (instead of a separate "nc" process), connects to the guest and sends it the files - still using the CPIO format. Rather than arbitrarily sleep for 3 seconds before the host tries to connect to the guest (which might not be enough for some, or a waste of time for others), with this patch the host looks at the guest's output and connects when it sees the message "Waiting for connection".
