You need to clone git://xenbits.xen.org/qemu-xen-4.1-testing.git rather
than git://xenbits.xen.org/qemu-xen-4.0-testing.git, it most certainly
contains differences which specifically relate to the change libxenctrl
interfaces:

$ diff -x .git -urN qemu-xen-4.0-testing/ qemu-xen-4.1-testing/ | diffstat -p1

Which specific revision of qemu-xen-4.1 are you using?

No, there are patches available but not yet upstream. We hope to be able
to make the transition for 4.2.
