We may need to access Xen since instanceid will probably need to contain 
the system name or resource UUID or something.

As far as the RESOURCE structure goes, we should use 'char *instanceid' 
instead of statically sized char array.  This will lower the mem 
footprint and eliminate potential instanceid's that are larger than the 
array.  The latter is probably not an issue given typical instanceid 
will be < 100 bytes.

We can talk more about this and your proposed MOFs on tomorrow's call.  
I need to spend some time tonight refreshing my memory on the Allocation 
Capabilities profile.

Jim
