Log and uuid are gone upstream and no longer (or never were?) required
for xapi. I think you should omit them from the packaging.

mmap and eventchn are now called xenmmap and xenevtchn respectively.

I think the transition to the new names involved more than just
installing them in a different location though. I'm not sure of the
details but I think there was an actual ocamlish changes. Hopefully Jon
can fill in the blanks -- he recently also started a thread (on
pkg-xen-devel) to see if that change can just be added to the package.
