This comment is confusing to me. Perhaps `return' should read
`provide' ? But the connection between the body of this function and
the comment is still obscure.

Firstly, this should be libxl__xs_read_checked. Secondly if "content"
is NULL, this will crash.

I see that this function already trashes the domain config when it
fails (leaving it up to the caller to free the partial config) but
that this is not documented :-/.

I think this is rather unfortunate. Won't changing the default device
model while the domain is running will cause this function to give
wrong answers ?
Thanks,
Ian.
