Hmm it is not too simple, but if I run the code below as is, domU
succeeds in connecting netfront<->netback, e.g. there is no timeout
and the
MAC address is set correctly. If I rem in the xs_transaction_* calls,
the backend does not get the probe callback and nothing works.
Similar is true if I wrap each xs_write in a transaction_start-end pair.
 char s[256];
 char s2[256];
 int vifid = 2000 + domid;
 char* dom0_home = xs_get_domain_path(xs,0);
 printf("dom0_home is %s\n",dom0_home);
 char backend[256];
 char frontend[256];
 sprintf(backend,"%s/backend/vif/%d/%d",dom0_home,vifid,domid);
 sprintf(frontend, "%s/device/vif/%d",home,vifid);
 //xs_transaction_start(xs);
 sprintf(s,"%s/frontend",backend);
 xs_w(s, frontend );
 sprintf(s,"%s/frontend-id",backend);
 sprintf(s2,"%d",domid);
 xs_w(s, s2 );
 sprintf(s,"%s/handle",backend);
 sprintf(s2,"%d",vifid);
 xs_w(s, s2);
 //xs_transaction_end(xs,0);
 //xs_transaction_start(xs);
 sprintf(s, "%s/backend-id", frontend);
 xs_w(s, "0");
 sprintf(s,"%s/backend",frontend);
 xs_w(s, backend );
 sprintf(s,"%s/handle",frontend);
 sprintf(s2,"%d",vifid);
 xs_w(s, s2);
 sprintf(s,"%s/mac",frontend);
 xs_w(s, "aa:00:00:11:a6:02");
 //xs_transaction_end(xs,0);
