4) domain consoles interfaced through pseudo-terminals

  5) add new devices to a running virtual machine

  6) have an API that can be used by higher level management
     software, so people can script the deployment of virtual
     machines, in a similar way to how they script the
     deployment of physical systems today.  Eg. the installer
     could use this API to create and configure a virtual
     system, when the user wants to install an additional
     virtual machine.

  7) is light weight, ie. can run with very little memory
     overhead, so little memory is spent on domain 0 and
     more memory is left over for eg. the testing of rawhide ;)

I'm very willing to help out coding the new management tools.  I want to
see what people think is useful first.

I'd be willing to ship experimental management tools in Fedora,
so there is a userbase to test the software.
