Yes, true. I think privcmd might be more appropriate for /proc, but 
would like to see how it works as a binary file under /sys. ioctl's are 
not supported by sysfs that I can see, so privcmd would have to be a 
read/write interface.
Regardless of privcmd there are numerous simple attributes related to 
Xen that are consistent with "zen" of sysfs. :-)
