Good question :)
You could hack xend but it is not exactly something you want to do.
Another possibility is to change your device_model in the vm config file
to a bash script that does what you want and then calls qemu-dm with the
right arguments.
We could probably modify qemu to read the xenstore key from another
place that is easier to know before the VM is started.
