Normally this would be part of the same patch which added the idl
change.

You also need to add a #define LIBXL_HAVE_FOO to libxl.h to flag the
presence of this feature.

Lastly - I don't see any libxl_device_channel_* ops added here, is it
intentional that it not be possible to dynamically add these things?

How do I go about finding the PTY for a channel?
