My concern is as follows : If the libxen library is linked in dynamically into one or more independent clients, and someone decides to do xen_fini while someone else is still using it, won't it cause problems? Surely we can't expect random clients to be able to cooperate?

The independent clients will load libxen into their own process space. Only code would be shared between these processes. Data, e.g. the globals handled by xen_[init|fini], is not shared.
