The connection sud-id approach also has the option of keeping the same

use the sub-ids, I think that more transaction and watch bookkeeping
could be removed from xenbus. And the grant table change to
XS_INTRODUCE that I mentioned works either way.
Are there additional benefits to the grants approach besides just
removing xenbus from the communication path?
Yes, I think maybe you are right. I missed that the connection id can
conveniently be used to demux watch events. That given, I think
piggybacking connections is the way to go after all.
Reusing the request_id as a conn_id should work fine, since all current
clients just set that field to zero. Do you intend to introduce new
commands like XS_CREATE_CONNECTION / XS_DESTROY_CONNECTION? I think
that those ought to be executable only by the root connection
(connection 0).
