Chris,

I haven't compared your code with James' but we (Zentific) have been
utilizing Xenstore for some time now from userspace via the GPL pv
drivers for our Windows VM agent.
Certainly, gaining access to grant operations from userspace will be a
nice addition. :)

Many thanks for letting it loose so others might hack away at the code.
