I really think the "do transactions via xenstore in domU" is going to

Having the UUID easily accessible via sysfs definitely seems like it
would be advantageous to more than just me based on the comments here.

What will you be using the UUID for?

I know we wished to use it to replace the UUID normally available in SMBIOS. If that is the case, then perhaps we should reconsider the location of the UUID attribute since it could be available even when a hypervisor isn't around.
