There was a conflict with "libxc: unify xc_dom_p2m_{host/guest}", where
xc_dom_p2m_host became xc_dom_p2m. I tried to resolve in what I thought was
the obvious way, but then I got many instances of:

    In file included from libxl.c:19:0:
    libxl_internal.h:1612:43: error: 'struct xc_dom_image' declared inside parameter list [-Werror]
                                        struct xc_dom_image *dom);
                                               ^
    libxl_internal.h:1612:43: error: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want [-Werror]

Not sure if the original patch was wrong, has bit-rotted, or I messed up
the conflict resolution. This happens on all arches.

Actually, looking back at it, the added "struct xc_dom_image" in
libxl_arch.h is surely wrong, the right answer would be to include xc_dom.h
somewhere appropriate it might be tolerable to just leave it in xenguest.h.

Juergen, please investigate the build failure, fix the above and resubmit.

Ian.
