 Right.  The idea is that if KVM_FLAG_BLAH implies a field kvm_struct::blah, then either both are present in the headers, or none  of them.
Yup, makes sense. I like the idea :). Gets rid of all the useless paddings and reserved fields. We could even truncate the structs that already have paddings in them if we only copy min(sizeof(real_struct), ioctl_passed_size); (which we should anyways).
No, we can't change anything that is already out.  If will change the 
ioctl numbers, so building against new headers but running against an 
old kernel will fail.
How long until we get a patch set? :)
Well, I'd really like to get the qemu memory API out first.
