You are correct. For some reason I thought the encoding was exposed at the 
libxc level but it isn't so I can keep the definition inside the #ifdef.

Even where there are braces?

Yes, I'll go through and check.

Without it the call to hvm_destroy_ioreq_server() looks unwieldy because the 
union field specifier makes the line longer than 80 chars. It looked neater 
this way.

I can do that but it means I need to typedef ioservid_t in both headers, which 
I thought was less preferable.

Yep.

Not really. I could probably shrink it to 8.

That's a mistake. I'll drop it.

Ok.

Ok. Like with the SBDF definition, I mistakenly thought the range definitions 
were being used outside of libxc. Since they were tools-only, I should be able 
to drop them.
