Sorry, I just ignore the line in brackets since I always think this kind 
of thing is often not a big deal, and next time I should pay more 
attention to the (). But indeed, before I post this whole patch online I 
also picked up this chunk of code to ask you to take a look that. This 
manner means I'm not very sure if I'm addressing this properly. But I 
didn't get a further response, so I guess that should work for you and 
then I posted the whole online.

Now back on our problem,

static void
add_rdm_entry(libxl__gc *gc, libxl_domain_config *d_config,
               uint64_t rdm_start, uint64_t rdm_size, int rdm_policy)
{
     d_config->rdms = libxl__realloc(NOGC, d_config->rdms,
                     (d_config->num_rdms+1) * sizeof(libxl_device_rdm));

     d_config->rdms[d_config->num_rdms].start = rdm_start;
     d_config->rdms[d_config->num_rdms].size = rdm_size;
     d_config->rdms[d_config->num_rdms].policy = rdm_policy;
     d_config->num_rdms++;
}

Does this work for you? If I'm still wrong, please correct this function 
directly to cost you less.

Thanks
