Add an ioctl to the /dev/xen/xenbus_backend device allowing the xenbus
backend to be started after the kernel has booted. This allows xenstore
to run in a different domain from the dom0.

If I specify as domid = DOMID_SELF what will happen? Should we filter some
of the obvious no-no values? Like DOMID_IO, DOMID_SELF?

For DOMID_SELF, this will just be a convoluted way of getting a xenstore
event channel bound locally - the same as from the existing ioctl. This ends up
being a useless re-allocation of the event channel since it closes the existing
one.
Specifying an invalid domain ID will leave xenstore in the uninitialized state
because no domain will ever connect and send the notify to make xenstored_ready
nonzero. Until this happens, you can call the ioctl again, so there's no need to
filter out the invalid values.
