I'd rather have an unpleasant hack in the bowels of your debugger than
an unpleasant additional interface in Xen that noone else will use.
:-)
Then we have no choice but to misuse the interfaces you're prepared to
provide. Oh well.
I had some more of a think about this and actually there is a case for
using a polling interface of this type in the pcifront driver. That
sends a PCI-config-space request to the backend driver while it has
interrupts disabled and currently has to spin on a software flag. At
least the spin is usually short, but it's not a nice thing to have to
do.
I'll have another look at your patch next week and reconsider.
