Are you sure about the version 2 or later?

These two paragraphs are not needed.

No, use the proper macros that define this for you.

Why are you createing a xen kset?  You should not have to do this.

What does this do?  Just make the hypervisor subsystem structure global
like the rest of the kernel's subsystems are that need this.

Again, not needed.

Is this the xen coding style?  If so, it's got to change before making
it into mainline...  Please fix this up.

Also, don't use a xen kset.  Make it a subsystem.  Life is much easier
that way.

Trailing spaces here, and in a lot of other places in your patch.
Please clean them up (there are automatic tools that do this for you...)

Do not do assignments within if statments.  It's generally considered bad
form.  Also the spacing is wrong, but I know you will fix that up for
the rest of the patch too, so I'll just not mention it in every place.

Not needed.

Why not return an error number if this isn't successful?

Please use the proper macros to create these, do NOT do it by hand.

Wow, a static kobject.  Hint, not a good thing to do for a dynamic
thing.  This is not how you create a new attribute.

I'll not point this out again...

Nor this...

Nor this...

Or this...

Is this really needed?  Would an userspace program ever need this?

Not needed for this header file

> +#include <asm-xen/asm/hypercall.h>
> +#include <asm-xen/xen-public/version.h>

Nor these.

Shouldn't this be declared somewhere else?

> +extern struct subsystem * get_hyper_subsys(void);
> +extern struct kset * get_xen_kset(void);

Not needed at all.

Hm, is this file even needed?

thanks,
