I think we have some more things to do before moving this
out of staging:

* create a Makefile in tools/iio/ to easily get lsiio, iio_event_monitor
  and generic buffer executables.
* refactor iio_utils.h. There are some horrible inline functions there.
Perhaps it's better to add them in a separate iio_utils.c file and link
the object file where is needed.

thanks,
Daniel.
