Second, is xenfs really the best name here?  It is ambiguous with the

Yes, I'm aware of that ambiguity. I'm absolutely in favor of finding a
better name.

Maybe xensysfs?

Or just xensys (albeit that's likely getting ambiguous)? I'm
not fully convinced calling this a file system is a good idea.
Windows' name-value pair store is called registry, for
example, despite it also resembling a file system to a certain
degree.

"Registry" doesn't seem correct regarding the potential dynamically
generated entries.

And with the idea to "mount" it in the dom0 kernel's sysfs I think
xensysfs (or xenhypfs?) seems appropriate.
