The libxl tries to check if it's running in dom0 by parsing
/proc/xen/capabilities and if that fails it doesn't load.
There's no procfs interface in Xen on FreeBSD, so this check always
fails.
In addition to checking procfs, check if /dev/xen/xenstored, that's enough to
check if we're running in dom0 in FreeBSD case.

ACK with that changed.
For the record, I tested this on Linux. Looks good with Martin's comment addressed.
