But what about #if defined(CONFIG_XEN) && !defined(CONFIG_XEN_DOM0_PCI)?

method-1) fix it in *.c

Do you mean duplicate codes are ok?
It will be more complex if there are more macros.

We must use #if !defined(CONFIG_XEN) || (defined(CONFIG_XEN) && !defined(CONFIG_XEN_DOM0_PCI)).
It is ugly, especially if there are more macros.

method-4)
If we perfer to fix it in header file, another method, we can use weak attribute of gcc.

So there are four method to fix this bug now, I think the fix *.c is easiest.
What's your opinion?
