This is a debug helper. Since the xenpaging support is still fragile, run
xenpaging at different stages in the bootprocess. Different delays will trigger
more bugs. This implementation starts without delay for 5 reboots, then
increments the delay by 0.1 seconds It uses xenstore for presistant storage of
delay values

TODO: find the correct place to remove the xenstore directory when the guest is 
shutdown or crashed
