Re: [Xen-devel] use case for exposing xenstore attributes via sysfs	[lon

 It would also solve the general problem too.  There's a really 
interesting article on LWN right now about sysfs being part of the 
Linux userspace ABI.  If we expose parts of XenStore that aren't 
frozen (all of the Xend stuff which includes UUID isn't frozen) via 
sysfs then it would be wrong to ever change those things.
 I think you could write up a pretty simple module that provided this 
for domUs.  Would having a simpler kernel interface for XenBus be 
acceptable?   We could just change xenstore-* to use that interface 
and get rid of xenstore_domain_open() (is anyone actually using this 
interface anywhere else?).
 
 It gets harder if anyone wants to construct transactions or register 
watches from user space. We could support both interfaces though 
(simple restricted, and complex flexible).
