I was trying to build xen python bindings from sources

it was failing with this error

In file included from xen/lowlevel/acm/acm.c:31:
../../tools/libxc/xen/acm_ops.h:52: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'XEN_GUEST_HANDLE_64'
../../tools/libxc/xen/acm_ops.h:60: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'XEN_GUEST_HANDLE_64'

../../tools/libxc/xen/acm_ops.h:124: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'XEN_GUEST_HANDLE_64'

fix was to add the following to the file: tools/python/xen/lowlevel/acm/acm.c
