Xi: store unused classes in devPrivates.

Rather than freeing/allocing classes each time the device capabilities need to
swap, store them in the devPrivates system.
When a class is unused, it is pushed into the devPrivates, and later recovered
when needed again. This saves us a lot of memory allocations/frees, admittedly
on the cost of some memory.
