We are passing an extra special boolean flag at domain creation to

not. Another flag will be introduced later in this series.

Introduce a new struct xen_dom_flags and move the privileged flag to it.
Other flags will be added to struct xen_dom_flags.

I'm unsure whether introducing a 2nd structure is worth it here.
We could as well define some internal-use-only flags for
struct xen_domctl_createdomain's respective field.

+1.

Use a single bit bitfield instead? May even want to consider passing
this struct by value then.

This is an alternative if extending xen_domctl_createdomain is not a solution. The bitfield is easier to extend because we don't need to create a new field for each flag in struct domain.
