This would certainly be a good idea, since blockdev frontend driver in
XenLinux already contains this mapping table in the other direction
(major and minor to device name). These two mappings should then be
kept in sync and there would be no more troubles from domain0 not
having the device files, or having the files with different minor and
major.
