Sorry about that, hit Send when I really didn't want to do that... 

I've looked for /vm/foo, which is very short, so that's not what is
filling up the xenstore. 

It seems like I've got a lot of /local/domain/0/backend/console/* stuff
tho. Not sure if I have any other .../0/backend/* stuff as well, but
certainly there are literally thousands of consoles there.. 

Trying to locate where these are created and restored, but no success
yet.
