  No #ifdefs please. Also isn't there some common place where Xen can
  do all of it's magic extra init ?

  Aside of that this patch needs to be split into two. One adding the
  num_var_ranges op and one adding the Xen bits.

  Can we move the function here please ?

  Is op.cmd changed in the hypervisor call ?
