So no description at all for a somewhat unobvious issue with, I think,
a pretty obvious (but entirely different) solution? And that (obvious)
alternative not even being mentioned, together with why it was not
possible to use? Neither ...

... here is really becomes clear what "correct" is, or what breaks if this
was moved. However, thinking of moving as the first obvious alternative I
checked other arch-specific headers. None includes ../xen.h (really just
xen.h, as the others all live right in public/) like this. Which made me
conclude that maybe there's something wrong with the x86 header doing so.
And indeed, according to my build testing the #include can simple be
dropped, with just one further change elsewhere; see below.

public/x86: don't include common xen.h from arch-specific one

No other arch-*.h does so, and arch-x86/xen.h really just takes the role
of arch-x86_32.h and arch-x86_64.h (by those two forwarding there). With
xen.h itself including the per-arch headers, doing so is also kind of
backwards anyway, and just calling for problems. There's exactly one
place where arch-x86/xen.h is included when really xen.h is meant (for
wanting XEN_GUEST_HANDLE_64() to be made available, the default
definition of which lives in the common xen.h).

This then addresses a violation of Misra C:2012 Directive 4.10
("Precautions shall be taken in order to prevent the contents of a
header file being included more than once").

One question: when making the new version of the patch series should I
revert this commit as Jan made the patch for it himself, or should Jan's 
fixes
be integrated in the patch series?

Many thanks in advance,
Alessandro Zucchelli

You certainly want to leave out this patch. Whether you want to add my
alternative into the series is really up to you. I intend to commit it
relatively soon anyway.
