There's no xencall6(), so the version script also shouldn't mention it.
If such a function would ever appear, it shouldn't land in version 1.0.
No change to the generated binary, nor abi-dumper's view of the object.

Some hypercalls, memory-op in particular, can return values requiring
more than 31 bits to represent. Hence the underlying layers need to make
sure they won't truncate such values.

For libxengnttab.map, introducing a new VERS* section must be matched with a
equivalent SONAME bump.
For libxencall.map, the hunk as presented would have been ok, if Xen 4.11
hadn't been released between xencall_buffers_never_fault() and xencall_fd()
being introduced. Given the timing of the release, xencall_fd() needs moving
into a new VERS_1.2 section.

Add a new function to query whether hypercall buffers are always safe
to access by the hypervisor or might result in EFAULT.

libxencall will provide a stable API and ABI for calling hypercalls
(although those hypercalls themselves may not have a stable API). As
well as the hypercall buffer infrastructure needed in order to safely
provide pointer arguments to hypercalls.
libxenctrl encapsulates a instance of this interface, so users of that
library are not currently subjected to any actual changes. However all
hypercalls made internally by libxc now use the correct interface. It
is expected that most users of this library will be other libraries
providing a higher level interface, rather than applications directly.
Only the basic functionality to allocate hypercall safe memory is
moved, the type safe stuff and bounce buffers remain in libxc.
Note that the functionality to map foreign pages using privcmd is not
yet moved, meaning that an xc_interface will now contain two open
privcmd file descriptors. Foreign memory mapping is logically separate
functionality and will be moved into its own library.
The new library uses a version script to ensure that only expected
symbols are exported and to version them such that ABI guarantees can
be kept in the future.
