The below is the least invasive approach I can find, and works well on

with this initial submission.
Note that you have to put `xencons=xvc0' in your Linux .config, and run
`mknod /dev/xvc0 c 232 0' in your rootfs.

How did you pick the major? Is there a process for allocating one (I
think our bklock-device major is now official)? Could we use a more
dynamic (e.g., udev-based) scheme to avoid locking down 1/256th of the
8-bit major space for this?
