AFAICT, changing the ABI of the 'physinfo' sysctl is completely unneccessary.

The per-node NUMA free memory information is already available to Dom0
via the existing 'availheap' sysctl:

  #define XEN_SYSCTL_availheap         9
  struct xen_sysctl_availheap {
      /* IN variables. */
      uint32_t min_bitwidth;  /* Smallest address width (zero if don't care). */
      uint32_t max_bitwidth;  /* Largest address width (zero if don't care). */
      int32_t  node;          /* NUMA node of interest (-1 for all nodes). */
      /* OUT variables. */
      uint64_aligned_t avail_bytes;/* Bytes available in the specified region. */
  };


If you want to display this info in 'xm info', then simply invoke this
availheap sysctl call to fetch the data.
