Actually I think Vincent is right in this case: there is no point in
adding this feature to libxenlight because xl is perfectly capable
of handling userdata by itself; for example xl could store the userdata
when the domain is created, leave it there when the domain dies and
remove\rename it when another domain with the same identifier is
created.

For this reason I think you should move these two functions to libxlutil.
