Whereas leaving off the mach- implies that xen more of a configurable option that may apply to multiple mach- types? (Or perhaps I am just thinking of "machvec" on ia64?) I guess I don't care whether there is a mach- prefix or not but want to ensure Linux conventions are kept where possible. > Also, since this means those headers are a snapshot, binary > compatibility > needs to be (more) carefully considered. Good point. Perhaps we should specify VERSION macros like Linux has (for both Linux and gcc)?
