Ok, I think it starts to become more clear. What you were suggesting is 
that a Mirage-UNIX instance would have a control socket and its 
configuration would be tunable by connecting to this socket and sending 
messages/fds. It sounds an interesting option indeed.
Could you indicate me where to look to see how it is implemented on the 
xen backend (the interaction with xenstore). I’d like to understand more 
basically about the interaction between xen and mirage, and how the 
configuration is done when using the Xen backend.
Cheers,
