I was using them in some debugging code the other day and it bit me :-( 

Christian suggested changing xen-compat.h to use the maximum version
when compiling Xen. e.g.
        
        #ifndef __XEN_INTERFACE_VERSION__
        #ifdef __XEN__
        #define __XEN_INTERFACE_VERSION__ 0xffffffff
        #else
        #define __XEN_INTERFACE_VERSION__ 0x00000000
        #endif
        #endif
