Hi
The current tree includes a xenfs to be used on /proc/xen. This always
looked wrong to me as it merges arbitrary information and access to Xen
infrastructure. Also it is the only hypervisor support that needs such
filesystem while everyone else and even several part of the Xen support
uses the traditional ways, devices and sysfs.
One of the entries (capabilities) provides information about the
proviledge level to the hypervisor and belongs more likely into
/sys/hypervisor. The four other are plain old devices and belongs into
/dev.
