From my understanding, sizeof(bool) is not necessarily 1 (it can be
greater). While this is fine to use it in Xen, I think we want it to
always be one when exposed in the hypfs.
I don't think so: We want variable of type 'bool' to be updated
consistently (i.e. by a write to the full variable). Hence I
think sizeof(bool) is correct here. I can see though that the
hypercall interface then gains a dependency on the hypervisor's
representation of 'bool', but I think such ought to be taken
care of in the function carrying out the write, not in the
macro here.
So you think I should special case bool entries when returning the
size information? Or do you think its fine to have the hypervisor's
size reported and let the lib do the size handling correctly?
