Hi,

libxenvchan currently depends on libxenctl for the xc_evtchn_*,
xc_gntshr_* and xc_gnttab_* interfaces.

libxenctrl isn't typically (?) installed into domUs and most of
libxenctrl isn't interesting to domUs.

Would it be useful to split libxenctrl into two halfs?  A common part
with APIs useful for domUs and dom0, and another part of only interest
to dom0.

The common part would have to have a stable ABI.

David
