At least on FreeBSD there's no easy way to know if we are running on
Dom0 from userspace (unless we start using hypercalls with privcmd).

I could add a dummy device (let's say /dev/xen/control) that's only
present if we are running on Dom0, does that sound reasonable?

Another option would be to add a small C program that can use hypercalls
and privcmd to detect if we are running on Dom0 or not, but that seems
over engineering it.

This should have been:

. @XEN_SCRIPT_DIR@/hotplugpath.sh

I will send a patch ASAP to fix it.

<pedantic>
The line above doesn't follow libxl coding style.
