The 3.0.4 API ought to have proper async/sync semantics. Polling is an
option.
Ok, that's fine -- I'll poll until the domain's gone before returning;
on the newer API, it won't break anything.
Keep in mind, this problem isn't limited to destroy. It's
true for
reboot, shutdown, etc. There are very few ops that are actually
synchronous in Xen today.
/me wants sync reboot... :)
