There was an attempt to unify the configuration file syntax so that the
same syntax for vifs and vbds would also apply to emulated devices. I
know this was achieved with vbd's, I'm guess it was with vif's too.
[This is where the 'ioemu:' prefix in the target specifier (2n'd
parameter) in a vbd config comes from, allowing a vmx domain to have
both emulated and paravirtulaized disks/partitions.]
