The stuff in xcext depends on features/interfaces which are only in the
XCP hypervisor patch queue and not upstream which is why I didn't add
the support upstream libxc.

When those hypervisor patches get upstreamed then the bindings should be
added to upstream libxc (or possibly libxl in some cases) at that time.
Certainly the intention should be that xcext disappears with time.

In the meantime perhaps it would make sense to add patches to the XCP
patch queue to add those features to libxc there instead of having
xcext.

I think some of xcext might also be obsolete and doesn't do anything on
modern hypervisors but I didn't check that closely.

Ian.
