 sorry to be replying to my own message with another question,
 but would it be reasonable to have a function which adds
 some state info into the VM?

 what i mean by that is, would it be reasonable to add some functions
 xen_get_selinux_sid and xen_set_selinux_sid which are
 effectively the same as ext2/3 get and set xattrs "security.selinux"?

 such that it would be possible, on creation of a new xen guest session,
 to associate a SID with that session (e.g. "xen_vm_0_t") and then to be
 able to retrieve it again in the ioctls?
