It should be possible to build a single application or library that will work both in Xen and non-Xen environment. Any special case handling should be done at runtime.This patchset looks good, but can you go a step further and completely remove the RTE_LIBRTE_XEN_DOM0 build option ? This requires some more work (igb_uio, app/test), but I think this is worth it all the more so as you are looking into it at the moment.
I was thinking that for people on embedded systems having the build option (which stubs out support) was a good thing.
