Hmm .. i haven't received any response, is there anyone who could point me to 
the functions involved in communicating the state of the console from 
"initializing" to "connected" ?
That way i could at some additional printk's to find out why the state of domU 
consoles stays "1" instead of "4" in xenstore.
