I say give it a shot. It would be useful. Send me a message if you
wish me to check/review the port before you send-pr it.

In addition to patching the xenstore device name, I suppose that
the shared library version numbering should be changed to match
what it says in the Porters Handbook[1]:

This probably requires patching tools/xenstore/Makefile.
