Ah, so the include/hw/xen/io/ring.h file in tree is a copy of
/usr/include/xen/io/ring.h from xen-devel.  Previously both
these used "#ifndef __XEN_PUBLIC_IO_RING_H__". After
the header guard cleanup in 37677d7db3, our local copy used a
different header guard from the installed copy & thus we're
not protected from dual inclusion.

IMHO the right solutions here are either

 - Don't copy public Xen headers into our tree
 - Keep our Xen header copies identical to the originals

Importing public headers and then changing them locally is the worst
thing to do. With that in mind I think we should revert the part of
commit 37677d7db3 that touched the imported Xen headers.

Daniel
