    This is breaking a bunch of the builds and generally we try and avoid
    adding system includes in headers (apart from osdep.h) for this
    reason.
    In fact there is a comment just above to that fact.

    I think you can just add struct xs_handle to typedefs.h (or maybe just
    xen.h) and directly include xenstore.h in xen-all.c following the
    usual
    rules:

    https://qemu.readthedocs.io/en/latest/devel/style.html#include-directives

    It might be worth doing an audit to see what else is including xen.h
    needlessly or should be using sysemu/xen.h.

For considering:
I think this patch and some other changes done in "[PATCH v1 10/12] hw/arm: introduce xenpv machine" (the opening of Xen interfaces and calling xenstore_record_dm_state() in hw/arm/xen_arm.c:xen_init_ioreq()) could be avoided if we enable the Xen accelerator (either by passing "-M xenpv,accel=xen" or by adding mc->default_machine_opts = "accel=xen"; to hw/arm/xen_arm.c:xen_arm_machine_class_init() or by some other method). These actions are already done in accel/xen/xen-all.c:xen_init(). Please note, that I am not too familiar with that code, so there might be nuances.

Besides that, Xen accelerator will be needed for the xen-mapcache to be in use (this is needed for mapping guest memory), there are a few xen_enabled() checks spreading around that code to perform Xen specific actions.

Unfortunately, I am not that familiar with xen as accelerator function. Let me check and get back to you.
