Does this seem agreeable?

Having 'history' when you reconnect seems a bit over the top -- I'd make
this a 'phase 2' thing.

However, having a parameter which indicates the amount of history that
will be logged to disk might be useful. (whenever the file reaches size
X, throw away the first 20%.)
Ah, I see, I wasn't following what the disk logging was for. Makes perfect sense now.

We definitely need xenstore support for registering watchers for items
that don't exist yet. Having to poll is daft.
Rusty implemented support for this already. Hopefully Christian can pull it soon so we can cleanup the balloon and console stuff to just watch non-existant nodes :-)
