Urgh.  Thanks for this patch.  This code is pretty horrid stuff, I
have to say.  I have applied your fix to xen-unstable.

Keir, can you please also commit this to 4.0-testing ?  It applies
cleanly.

Stefano: does xl in stubdom mode still use stubdom-dm ?  If so can it
please not ?  Certainly "xm list" isn't going to work!

Ian.
