But you can't twiddle relayfs with echo and cat; it's more suited to high-bandwidth transfers than anything else, no? The idea here would be to be able to interact with the files in /sys the same way you always do, but provide a sort of consistency system whereby a program _or_ sysadmin can attach its view of the /sys/hypervisor directory tree to a particular snapshot of the system. As far as I can tell (although I'd be happy to be proven wrong), there is no trivial way to manually access or shellscript relayfs files, the way you can "cat /sys/devices/<path-to-device>/dev".
