xs_domain_open() is required for xenstore clients to work when they're
not in the same domain as xenstored (either because xenstore is in a
stub domain or because the client is not in dom0). Removing it is
definitely wrong.
(IMHO xs_daemon_open() should be killed entirely, but there are some
dom0 kernels where the xs_domain_open() connection isn't allowed to send
XS_INTRODUCE commands. That shouldn't make a difference here, though).

What does the change to ROOT_NODE do in this patch? Any chance that it
fixes the problem by itself? :)
