We're writing to the following paths that aren't standard:

device-misc/vif/default-link
hvmpv/{xpv,xdf,xpvd,xnf}/version

Can they be opened up? (Ideally we'd use the guest/ suggestion below,
and we will, but there's already stuff out there assuming it can do
this.)

Also, I'd like to see an explicit /l/d/domid/guest directory. The guest
can write anything there, but there's a clear indicator that it's not to
be trusted (we could even document this stuff by expanding xenstore.txt
?)
