Yes, and hence it needs to be a const char * not a char *, so we should
change both libxl__domain_bios and libxl__xs_write I think.

Does this help? It works for me, but my compiler doesn't appear to
complain in this way...

libxl: libxl__xs_write format string should be const.

George Dunlap reports that gcc 4.4.3 complains:
        libxl_dm.c: In function libxl__create_device_mode:
        libxl_dm.c:776: error: format not a string literal and no format 
arguments
And indeed the format argument here is a char * from libxl__domain_bios().

Make the argument to libxl__xs_write a const char * and change
libxl__domain_bios to return a const char too.
