Maybe another method is to add a new do_mca command for the CMCI, like
#define XEN_MC_cmci_inject 6
Of course, we can update the interface version, to make the new command will
only be supported in new version. So that when new dom0 will not get
un-expected result when running in old xen hypervisor.
Any idea?
Thanks
