Okay.

This interface is a stable ABI to be used outside of Linux by other
Xen guests as well. As long as those Linux internal definitions are
not guaranteed to remain unchanged forever, I'd rather have my own
defines.

Correct. :-)

Not userspace, but Xen guests. The number of segments per request and
the maximum port number are part of the interface between frontend and
backend, so they are defined here.

Okay.

I'll change all names to use "xenusb_" instead of "usbif_" as prefix.
