It does not currently work to stop and start xenstored. +Certainly all domUs should be shutdown first, following the sort order +of the rc.d scripts. However, the dom0 sets up state with xenstored, +and is not notified when xenstored exits, leading to not recreating +the state when the new xenstored starts.
