Thanks.

It's actually a little ugly to do.

#ifdef __XEN__
#undef cpu_user_regs
#else
typedef struct cpu_user_regs cpu_user_regs_t;
DEFINE_XEN_GUEST_HANDLE(cpu_user_regs_t);
#endif

and I don't particularly like it, given the complexity of #ifdef-ary
around it.  Thoughts?

Breaking the connection between asm/current.h and public/xen.h is very
important IMO.  Right now, the public interface/types/defines are in
every TU, and they absolutely shouldn't be.

Sadly, the compiler isn't happy when including public/xen.h after
asm/current.h, hence the dropping of the underscores.

I did have half a mind to expand them fully.  I find them unintuitive,
but I also didn't think I'd successfully argue that change in.

I'm not terribly fussed how we do this, but I really do want to reduce
the header tangle.

While both patches are reasonably small, I think it's important for
bisection to keep them separate.  They're both complex in separate ways.
