I think no, because the backend devices do use xenstore, so they would 
need a way to talk to the guest.  It's the same conceptually for the 
console, but in that case the "way to talk to the guest" is the 8250A 
device model that already exists.  In the case of xenstore it would be 
yet another protocol to devise and scrutinize.
