For relatively static stuff (e.g. textual configuration data), it would
be reasonable to use xenbus/xenstore. We could give each domain a
subtree in the store that it can read/write via a /proc/sys interface.

Ian, how flexible is the format/layout of the xenstore going to
be? Does it allow for more of a general purpose use? That would
be neat..

thanks,
Nivedita
