This is back to the original issue, I think the last couple of mails
have been something of a tangent since you weren't getting as far as
this failure.

I'm not really sure what to suggest here -- something is either closing
the fd or scribbling over the memory which contains it.

I suppose you could sprinkle calls to libxl__xs_get_dompath() around
between libxl__sched_set_params and libxl__device_disk_set_backend and
see where it starts failing -- that's going to be pretty tedious though.

If you've got the gdb-fu you might be able to set a write watch on the
location in the ctx with the fd -- could tell you something perhaps.

Otherwise perhaps bisection is the best bet?

Can you tell if the xs fd is still actually open at this point? On Linux
I would look in /proc/<ipd>/fds for the socket.

Also can you print out the xsh from the ctx (perhaps that's easier from
e.g. frame #7 below?)

Also the ao failure smells like bad error handling resulting from the
underlying issue, which might be worth someone investigating separately.
