This is breaking xiu. as i said before the xc C library in XCP is 
different than the one in opensource;
There's an injection layer that give the ability to catch stuff and 
redirect them to userspace, where
we can simulate lots of things. Last time i checked this was still used 
by a bunch of people for testing.
