I would say it's certainly not common, but every OS with Dom0 support
seems to do it (take a look at tools/include/xen-sys).
Not sure if this was done in the past to allow compiling the toolstack
on a host without a xen-classic kernel (which I guess was the only one
to have the proper headers for user-space devices).
Roger.
