And I don't think we ever will support generic xenstore read and write
through
libvirt. xenstore is uniquely Xen :-). In the old xen driver, xenstore is used
(along with xend and hypercalls) to implement the overall functionality of the
driver, but there are no specific APIs for reading from / writing to xenstore.
