Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] linux merge - remove typedefs
> While working on putting version info into sysfs I removed

This impacts all the other OSes that use the xen public headers:
Although we usually put a copy of the headers in with the OS source, its
convenient to be able to overide these and link to the headers in a xen
source repo.

I'm not a huge fan of using typedefs for arrays, but I think these are
fairly harmless. 

If lkml folk go nuts then we could make this change specific to the
version of the headers checked into linux (and maybe have some #ifdef
LINUX directives in the headers in the xen tree).
