- (Paolo's idea:) watching the "hotplug-status" xenstore node and
sending a single gARP when the watch fires with "connected". This node
belongs to the backend xenstore subtree, thus watching it from the guest
doesn't please the architecture astronaut in me.

Note that watching the backend and reading its information is quite common. In fact, that's how the state of the backend is observed in the first place. Of course you cannot write to the backend tree, but you do not have to do that.
