It's a good idea to start working on a patch if you have time for this, but note that I won't apply it until 3.0.5 is officially released, in the past we have seen hypervisor call changes just before releases, so... First libxc is GPL'ed and libvirt is LGPL'ed, if we relied on libxc that would affect any program using libvirt from a licencing point of view, making it far less attractive in my opinion. Second we aim at providing compatibility with any released version of the xen hypervisor, so when 3.0.5 is out we will need to adapt the code again and check the hypervisor_version (and subversion) and possibly add more switch cases to handle the new version.
