And even more importantly, once we get the error reporting patches integrated
into libxc, having the xc_linux_save/restore calls made by XenD directly
would ensure we get reliable error handling for save/restore operations.
 
It used to work that way.  xc_linux_save/restore were factored out of 
Xend late in the 3.0 dev process.  I believe the idea was that they 
should be executed with lower privileges (which is why they take file 
descriptors as command line arguments instead of just calling 
xc_interface_open() like you would expect). 
I believe it was Christian who was driving this.  Perhaps he has a few 
more details?

So, is there any good reason for xc_save & xc_restore to exist as separate
processes - it just seems like a huge complication to me, increasing
fragility of the system & reducing the quality of error reporting we can
get
Regards,
Dan.
