The kernel has nothing to do with domain management, so the problem must
either be in usermode or in Xen (but since Xen is known to work...).

I boot my machine without ever having run xend.  When I first log in:

# oxenstored
# xl list
Name                                        ID   Mem VCPUs      State   Time(s)
(null)                                       0  3321     4        r--    143.1


But the problem is that "xl" doesn't let me operate on dom0 at all.  For
example, if I do:

# xl mem-set 0 2000000
0 is an invalid domain identifier.

I see this regularly, especially after doing a "xl save" on a domain.
