The shutdownmon in gplpv uses xenstore to do its thing. The interface isn't 
well tested beyond the watch/read/write that shutdownmon does but if you find 
any bugs I can fix them.

What's missing though is a userspace library to do the dirty work for you, so 
you need to talk to the io interface directly. Have a look at the shutdownmon 
code.

No. What sort of use did you have in mind?
