I can map from domid to uuid by reading /local/domain/DOMID/vm.

I got that to work by trying DOMIDs starting with 0 until the read
succeeds, but that's kind of gross.

I can think of some less gross methods to find my domid, but I'd still
be glad to hear suggestions.

Would you like to have an interface for obtaining one's UUID?  What
about adding a XENVER_get_uuid code to HYPERVISOR_xen_version()?
