This looks like a bug in the tools. xl or xenstore-ls hang forever if xenstored
disappears. Looks like xs_open() is the culprit. The socket functions fail,
then it attempts to use xs_domain_dev() which happens to succeed.  Only
xenstore-ls has the '-s' option to force operating on a socket.  I wonder why
libxl does not pass XS_OPEN_SOCKETONLY? It just uses the wrappers for xs_open.

Can xenstored run in another domain?
