This is nearly the same coding as xenwatch_thread(). Why don't you
define a new (sub-)structure containing the needed elements and move
xenwatch_pid, watch_events_waitq, watch_events, xenwatch_mutex,
watch_events_lock into such a structure? Then you could a common
function for both purposes (you'd need to set state for
xenwatch_thread() to DOMAIN_UP and add a callback for testing the
thread end condition).

Should we really exclude dom0? What if a driver domain wants to support
a dom0 based frontend?

No alloc error messages, please!

Again: 0 as a special value isn't a good idea. Maybe use one of the
reserved DOMIDs, like DOMID_SELF?
