Hmm. Looking at this, we've got an awful lot of duplicated code between
xc_{linux,solaris}.c if we only let those files see the kernel headers
containing privcmd_hypercall_t etc.

Wouldn't it be better to have a libxc/xen/sys/[1] symlink so that
xc_private.c and friends can continue to include privcmd_hypercall etc?
That way the contents of xc_{linux,solaris}.c can contain only the parts
that we'll genuinely differ by (use of /proc etc.).

[1] or some other name since 'dom0' won't do
