Thanks, but hmmm..., it doesn't look like this is accessed
anywhere, nor is it EXPORTed so it wouldn't be accessible
from a module.

>>From more code reading, I'm guessing the right way to do
this is to key off of a xenstore_notifier call which
can set the local static equivalent of xenstored_ready.
True?

Thanks,
Dan
