Ok, this can be done, I think.

Right, but don't I need a gc to use it? Should I "make up" one just for
the purpose of using LOG/LOGE?

Because I need nr_cpus. :-)

I will.

You mean just introducing one #define? Sure... For some reason I assumed
that every new field should come with it's own symbol. But if it's fine
to have one, I'm all for it. :-)

I think yes.

I did actually check and, of all the enum-s in the IDL, none are used as
flags, they're rather used as "single values". OTOH, the only actual
flags I found (I think it was LIBXL_SUSPEND_DEBUG, LIBXL_SUSPEND_LIVE)
were defined like I did myself above... That's why I went for it.

But again, if you're fine with these being enum, I will make them so.

Thanks and Regards,
Dario
