See my previous mail. Yes, we might, but if we don't there is hardly much
downside for you. In this case, well, I suppose it would make the headers
clearer. The approach for upstream would be to typedef a xen_uintptr_t,
def'ed to unsigned long in old values of XEN_INTERFACE_VERSION and uintptr_t
in the latest XEN_INTERFACE_VERSION.
