I say give it a shot. It would be useful. Send me a message if you wish me to check/review the port before you send-pr it. In addition to patching the xenstore device name, I suppose that the shared library version numbering should be changed to match what it says in the Porters Handbook[1]: > Try to keep shared library version numbers in the libfoo.so.0 format. > Our runtime linker only cares for the major (first) number. This probably requires patching tools/xenstore/Makefile.
