I mean create a single struct with all of the options in it, from which
libxl will select the appropriate set of parameters (much like the code
you have now does. You don't need to decide the content of that struct
at runtime.

The IDL patch is below, other than changing "us" to "sched_params" I
think most of the rest of your patch remains the same.

That's ok, thanks for doing this!

You add a struct for arinc635 but don't actually do anything with it,
you may as well leave it out for now?
