Agreed.  It is a simple matter of find the right place in the xend code
to initialize the self.channel (calling crate_channel()) for dom0.

I reported this a while ago.  _something_ is wrong with self.channel in
XendDomInfo object for dom0 as I noted in this message:

http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2005-07/msg00444.html

Also in bugzilla #101, I added a patch to show that the control message
wasn't sent because the channel is not valid.
