 This looks like a good strategy, with e.g. BTINFO_MODULELIST
 corresponding to e.g. variable-length string attribute description,
 and BTINFO_COMPAT_MODULELIST being just a reference to struct
 bi_modulelist.
 
 Now, I see that the module list is being interpreted by /netbsd's code
 at sys/arch/x86/x86/x86_machdep.c:module_init_md().  I wonder, if
 those structures (well, currently only struct bi_modulelist) are also
 [do need to be] interpreted by a Xen's kernel?
