The protocol that xm speaks to xend contains the pathnames of the
backing files for block devices and so forth, which are interpreted by
xend, qemu-dm, etc., in the context of dom0.
This may or may not be what you want :-). But it is another way in
which the domU in this case has the ability to mess with the machine
in ways that an untrusted domain shouldn't. Whether that's a problem
depends on whether you wanted Xen (as a whole, including the tools
etc.) to defend you from this domU.
