--- Comment #12 from Thomas Blume <Thomas.Blume at suse.com> ---
In SUSE kernels /proc/xen/capabilities is created in privcmd.c (see
https://gitorious.org/opensuse/kernel/source/3f3ae894fe6c750ed2185cfdcc30a20d4becca88:drivers/xen/privcmd/privcmd.c).

But it seems that other kernel flavours don't have this.
(See for example:
http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-09/txtV0mkHOtzj_.txt)
In older kernels it was not created automatically, but had to be mounted via
xenfs. (See:
http://old-list-archives.xenproject.org/xen-users/2009-07/msg00490.html). Not
sure wheter some flavours still use this.

So, I guess we cannot really rely on the fact that /proc/xen/capabilities is
always present in dom0.
