Interesting -- these are both new symbols introduced in cstruct.1.6.0.  I had 
thought that the Cstruct stubs in mirage-platform were now using the version 
from Cstruct, but that transition hasn't happened yet.

It's easily fixed; you can either:

- test the fix via "opam pin add mirage-xen 
git://github.com/avsm/mirage-platform#fix-cstruct-1.6.0" 
  (you need OPAM 1.2.1+ for this, as it uses the virtual package detection 
feature)

- drop back to Cstruct.1.5.0 via "opam install cstruct.1.5.0"

- the upper bounds are added in this opam-repository pull request:
  https://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository/pull/3978

thank for the report!
