I should have said that it does actually seem to eventually succeed.

I've not really got a clue how this is suppose to work, but looking at
tools/qemu-xen-traditional-dir/xenstore.c I see things like:
        fprintf(stderr,"medium change watch on ...
        
Experimentally it seems that ejecting the ISO can be done with:
         xenstore-rm /local/domain/0/backend/qdisk/45/5632/params 
and inserting with
        xenstore-write /local/domain/0/backend/qdisk/45/5632/params aio:/scratch/mini.iso
(whether you can skip eject to do a change I didn't check)

So I think the libxl_cdrom_insert alg needs to be something like:

	if (hvm)
		rewrite params key
		if stubdomid
			libxl_device_disk_remove(domid)
			libxl_device_disk_add(domid)

	else /* pv */
		libxl_device_disk_remove(domid)
		libxl_device_disk_add(domid)

where the libxl_device_disk_* are actually async initiations and a chain
of callbacks

Grepping around in xend I don't see where this used to be done, maybe it
wasn't. I can't see an xm equiv to xl cd-insert...

Ian.
