I setup a build trees for 4.0 thru 4.6 yesterday to test this, what a
pain 4.1 and 4.0 are to build with a modern gcc! (Mostly newer compiler
warnings and mostly, but not all, fixes which I could just backport
from newer Xen, the exceptions were a couple of things which were
removed before they needed to be fixed)

Supporting 4.0 didn't turn out quite as ugly as I had feared.

So before I send an email to qemu-devel to propose dropping 4.0 what do
you think of the following which handles the evtchn case, there is a
similar patch for gnttab and a (yet to be written) patch for the
foreign memory mapping case.

The relevant bit for this discussion is the 4.0.0 definition of
xenevtchn_open in xen_common.h, the rest is just adjusting it to use
the API of the new library (for reasons explained in the commit
message).

    xen: Switch to libxenevtchn interface for compat shims.
    
    In Xen 4.7 we are refactoring parts libxenctrl into a number of
    separate libraries which will provide backward and forward API and ABI
    compatiblity.
    
    One such library will be libxenevtchn which provides access to event
    channels.
    
    In preparation for this switch the compatibility layer in xen_common.h
    (which support building with older versions of Xen) to use what will
    be the new library API. This means that the evtchn shim will disappear
    for versions of Xen which include libxenevtchn.
    
    To simplify things for the <= 4.0.0 support we wrap the int fd in a
    malloc(sizeof int) such that the handle is always a pointer. This
    leads to less typedef headaches and the need for
    XC_HANDLER_INITIAL_VALUE etc for these interfaces.
    
    Build tested with 4.1 and 4.5.
    
    Note that this patch does not add any support for actually using
    libxenevtchn, it just adjusts the existing shims.
    
    Note that xc_evtchn_alloc_unbound functionality remains in libxenctrl,
    since that functionality is not exposed by /dev/xen/evtchn.
