Re: [Xen-devel] Proposal for init/kexec/hotplug format for Xen

No, not fundamentally true.  The registry approach decouples the
generation of the hotplug events from the provider of devices such that

the domain connects after it boots.

Yes, this is what I envision. Cooking things into binary-encoded device trees or hotplug events could also work, and might be less code in the guest OS, but I think it's a lerss clean design and would need more special-casing in domain0.
