I'd prefer an interfacing library (or libraries) that can target Linux 
interfaces, Sun interfaces, etc. This would avoid inclusion of kernel 
interface headers outside that shim library.
Maybe this only needs to be done for evtchn interfaces. I would have 
hoped that libxenctrl and libxenguest would hide privcmd interfaces. I 
wonder why so many things include <linux/privcmd.h>?
