Yeah, I like this idea but I agree that sysfs is not the right place for it (it would requiring maintaining a kobject representation of domains in the kernel which is going to be painful).These will be text files with simple attrributes. Most will be
read-only. It is kind of fun to think about creating a domain by doing
something like
cat $domain_config > /sys/xen/domain/new
but there are some ugly aspects of doing so. Likewise it would be good
to add a potential migration host by writing an ip address to
/sys/xen/migrate/hosts_to
Again, we need to get this solidified before going further.
Anthony (cc-ed) did a little work on implementing something like this using FuSE to call the existing management interfaces we have for this functionality. IIRC, it was mostly targetted at reading information about running domains, but it seemed like a good level to implement these higher-level controls in a virtual FS.
