From: Julien Grall <jgrall@xxxxxxxxxx> OCaml is using a string to describe the parameter 'keys' of xc_send_debug_keys(). Since Ocaml 4.06.01, String_val() will return a const char * when using -safe-string. This will result to a build failure because xc_send_debug_keys() expects a char *. The function should never modify the parameter 'keys' and therefore the parameter should be const. Unfortunately, this is not directly possible because DECLARE_HYPERCALL_BOUNCE() is expecting a non-const variable. A new macro DECLARE_HYPERCALL_BOUNCE_IN() is introduced and will take care of const parameter. The first user will be xc_send_debug_keys() but this can be used in more place in the future.
