At the moment, the xenbus device is a simple hack which grabs the lock
on all store communication on open, and drops it on close.  It's not
really a general mechanism for tools in domUs to communicate with the
store.

BTW, Christian, you'll be happy to know I'm testing a patch which
changes the unnatural ioctl into a read/write interface 8)

Cheers,
