Please drop this patch.

Seems there are paths where __XEN_INTERFACE_VERSION__ is being set to
a different value.

The main problem seems to be that xenctrl.h #define's __XEN_TOOLS__
in order to get all structures of #include'd headers, but it isn't
#undef'ining it at the end.

I believe all stubdoms using xenctrl.h in their main app should
explicitly set __XEN_INTERFACE_VERSION__ in their config file to
__XEN_LATEST_INTERFACE_VERSION__.

I'll send a patch doing this.
