Well the existing code block is this

#ifndef DOMFLAGS_DYING
#define DOMFLAGS_DYING     (1<<0) /* Domain is scheduled to die.             */
#define DOMFLAGS_HVM       (1<<1) /* Domain is HVM                           */
#define DOMFLAGS_SHUTDOWN  (1<<2) /* The guest OS has shut down.             */
#define DOMFLAGS_PAUSED    (1<<3) /* Currently paused by control software.   */
#define DOMFLAGS_BLOCKED   (1<<4) /* Currently blocked pending an event.     */
#define DOMFLAGS_RUNNING   (1<<5) /* Domain is currently running.            */
#define DOMFLAGS_CPUMASK      255 /* CPU to which this domain is bound.      */
#define DOMFLAGS_CPUSHIFT       8
#define DOMFLAGS_SHUTDOWNMASK 255 /* DOMFLAGS_SHUTDOWN guest-supplied code.  */
#define DOMFLAGS_SHUTDOWNSHIFT 16
#endif

So, all the DOMFLAGS_* constants are defined if we don't already have
them. Current Xen headers don't define any of the DOMFLAGS_* values,
but it seems older headers do define some, but not all, which is why 
we end up missing the _HVM flag. 

To be honest, we should have simply #define'd them all ourselves with a
different namespace to the public Xen headers. We should't rely on any
stuff in the Xen headers since we know they chance that at will.

This #ifdef is unneccessary, since the code higher up should always
define DOMFLAGS_HVM.

Dan.
