Whatever you guys decide on please make sure the model used for these two
device types are consistent with each other (and potentially other future
device kinds using this model) and where it makes sense consistent with the
controller-less device types whose template set of operations is already
defined in libxl.h

I'd been hoping that someone involved ion this would generate a patch
adding a template for this controller+devices model to libxl.h, I've not
seen anything since George's original RFC[0] "libxl: Introduce a template
for devices with a controller".
