There is not much point in removing <=3.4 support and keeping 4.0, since 4.0.0 was the last one which used a plain int as a handle, anything older than 4.0.0 is trivial if 4.0.0 is supported. One approach I am considering in order to keep 4.0.0 support and earlier was to turn the "int fd" for <=4.0 into a pointer by having the open wrapper do malloc(sizeof int) and the using wrappers do xc_foo(*handle). This way all the different variants take pointers and we have less hoops to jump through to typedef everything in the correct way for each variant. If you would rather avoid doing that then I think dropping 4.0.0 support would be the way to go and I'll send a mail to qemu-devel.
