This patch adds an ioctl interface to /proc/xen/xenbus to allow simple access to xenstore from domU. This patch introduces only xenbus_read() support, but write, remove, etc could be easily added. Also, this interface can be easily moved to /dev/xen/xenbus (or something similar) later.Hmm, wouldn't a virtual file system be a much better fit for xenstore access? the kernel community considers ioctls Evil with a capital E.
Also, we already support xenstore access via read/write on that device file. And libxenstore knows how to target that read/write interface. Why would we add an ioctl to do the same thing?
