	include.
	(aio_start_notify_thread): Define if not defined.
	(notify_func_wrapper): Use it.
	* sysdeps/pthread/aio_misc.c: Use <> instead of "" for aio_misc.h
	include.

	(struct ypresp_all_data): New type.
	(__xdr_ypresp_all): Change second argument to
	struct ypresp_all_data *.  Replace ypall_foreach and
	ypall_data with objp->foreach and objp->data.
	(yp_all): Remove status variable, add data.  Replace
	all uses of status with data.status.  Initialize data.foreach
	and data.data instead of ypall_foreach and ypall_data.
