That direction certainly seems like a good one to me.

In this case, we need to load the device tree into the domain's memory
and pass its address in a register (i.e. via xc_vcpu_setcontext).
Currently it doesn't look like xc_vcpu_setcontext is exposed to python
for us to use. What would you like to see here?
