(http://marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=127500093308294) xenfs is already in the mainline kernel (since v2.6.29-rc1 if git describe isn't lying to me), so I'm not sure what you are vetoing here. I don't think anybody likes /proc/xen but unfortunately it is the historical interface provided by the kernel and it is used by existing userspace from both dom0 and domU so even if it were completely replaced by an equivalent sysfs interface it would likely need to be maintained for a transitional period. In other words, while I agree that /proc/xen isn't great and that we should be moving over to interfaces in /sys or /dev/ etc I don't see why it would block any use of a kernel which contained it.
