I think libxl should store the name only in /local/domain/$domid.
In libxl we identify domains by domid, in general, not uuid.

Since libxl is becoming the preferred toolstack I think we should
change xenstat to look in the libxl location - ie, apply Daniel's
2/2.  But I'll wait for further comments.

Ian.
