Hi,

Xenstore is referencing domains by their domid, but reuse of a domid

with that domid has been deleted and created again without Xenstore
noticing the domain is a new one now.

Add a global domain creation unique id which is updated when creating
a new domain, and store that value in struct domain of the new domain.
The global unique id is initialized with the system time and updates
are done via the xorshift algorithm which is used for pseudo random
number generation, too (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xorshift).

I think unique_id needs to be read within the critical section. Otherwise, get_unique_id() could return the same ID twice.

Yes, you are right.
