[PATCH 4/5] libxc: use multicall for memory-op on Linux (and Solaris)

[Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

Some sub-functions, XENMEM_maximum_gpfn in particular, can return values
requiring more than 31 bits to represent. Hence we cannot issue the
hypercall directly when the return value of ioctl() is used to propagate
this value (note that this is not the case for the BSDs, and MiniOS
already wraps all hypercalls in a multicall).
