I would like to avoid introducing new dom0_ops. If an invasive change
is only changing longs into an equivalent typedef'ed long (on x86/ia64)
then it's not hard to reason that it's correct. If it also causes
changes in users of libxc then well, that's a shame, but it's not
fixed by introducing a new dom0_op unless you duplicate every end user
for the ppc architecture too. :-)
