This is the first step in a number of changes around letting dom0 build on something other than Linux. What are the plans for these headers when the Linux kernel lives in some place other than the xen tree itself? We'd like to be able to share the structure definitions, but our ioctl values will differ from Linux's...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>? Because libxc "leaks" a few of the dom0_op structures like dom0_getvcpuinfo_t, dom0_shadow_control_stats_t, etc in its public interface. This could be fixed by making sure all of those structures had wrapper (like xc_dominfo_t).
