I did that and it was showing 206869. Updated the HV to be post-Kier's
changes and it now shows 206868, so it was an off-by-one due to HV/libxc
mismatch.

I really was not expecting to be seeing HV hypercall API changes in
the 3.0.5 testing rc  releases :-(

Are there any more planned hypercall API/ABI changes anticipated before
3.0.5 is released, which would require a match HV/userspace update ?  

Dan.
