+++ b/linux-2.6-xen-sparse/include/xen/public/privcmd.h

That's specifically the part I'm talking about.

WRT Xen's public headers, that's a different issue, however there's
still some of the same namespace concerns.  Of course, I'd be thrilled
to make it all __u64 in public headers w/ appropriate types.h involved.
And realisitically, platforms will all need some santized version of the
headers anyway.

thanks,
