As a slight aside to this, can't libxl use libusb for a lot of this stuff and therefore avoid being Linux specific? http://libusb.info/ claims to support "Linux, OS X, Windows, Windows CE, Android, OpenBSD/NetBSD, Haiku.". Interestingly FreeBSD is missing there but I don't think that need to be a blocker. I don't see a problem with adding libusb to our set of dependencies, and it's certainly got to be better than (re)implementing a bunch of sysfs stuff (which I presume is what libusb does under the hood anyway).
