Thanks Andrew,

I was not sure but I did not do anything special except replacing the orig
tarballs. The rest of the build is as we share it with Debian. So for a minor
release / stable release update I would rather not change the environment.

For the patch I just copied the definition from lib.h because gcc seems to be
called without access to hypervisor includes (probably adapting the Makefile
plus adding an include would be the better path but it was late'ish on a Friday
and I wanted something compiling quickly).
