    tools/libxl: env variable to signal whether disk/nic backend is trusted
    
    Introduce support in libxl for fetching the default backend trusted
    option for disk and nic devices.
    
    Users can set LIBXL_{DISK,NIC}_BACKEND_UNTRUSTED environment variable
    to notify libxl of whether the backends for disk and nic devices
    should be trusted.  Such information is passed into the frontend so it
    can take the appropriate measures.
    
    This is part of XSA-403.
