In the process of ploughing through QEMU symbols, there are some domctls
and physdevops used to do  passthrough. To make passthrough APIs in
libxendevicemodel we need to stabilise them as well. Can I use the same
trick __XEN_TOOLS_STABLE__ here? If not, what would be the preferred way
of doing this?
