    xen/kernel.h: Import __struct_group from Linux
    
    Import __struct_group from Linux, commit 50d7bd38c3aa
    ("stddef: Introduce struct_group() helper macro"), in order to
    allow the access through the anonymous structure to the members
    without having to write also the name, e.g:
    
    struct foo {
        int one;
        struct {
            int two;
            int three, four;
        } thing;
        int five;
    };
    
    would become:
    
    struct foo {
        int one;
        __struct_group(/* None */, thing, /* None */,
            int two;
            int three, four;
        );
        int five;
    };
    
    Allowing the users of this structure to access the .thing members by
    using .two/.three/.four on the struct foo.
    This construct will become useful in order to have some generalized
    interfaces that shares some common members.
