Do we want to add a create flag for each such feature, or would it be
better to set options like those via hypfs?
It would be fairly easy to ad dynamic hypfs paths, e.g.:
/domain/<domid>/abi-features/evtchn-fifo
/domain/<domid>/abi-features/evtchn-upcall
which would have boolean type and could be set as long as the domain
hasn't been started.
xl support could even be rather generic, without the need to add coding
to xl for each new feature.
This is no objection to this series, but just an idea how to avoid
extending the use of unstable interfaces.
Thoughts?
