As the kbuild bot points out, this does not work since the existence of
a typedef cannot be checked with #ifdef.

I'm not really sure what problem you're trying to solve.  A user space
program making use of this interface gets the domid_t and xen_pfn_t etc
typedefs from the headers provided as part of the libxenctrl library.
