This adds a backend_domname field in libxl devices that contain a

into a domain ID in the _setdefault function when adding the device.
This change allows the backend of the block devices to be specified
(which previously required passing the libxl_ctx down into the block
device parser), and will simplify specification of backend domains in
other users of libxl.
Looks good to me (some minor comments below). Given that the initial
version of this was posted ages ago I think this should be granted a
freeze exception. George?

1. It seems like if there are any bugs they should be caught before the release 2. Allowing disk backends to be specified seems like a very good feature for 4.3; and it seems like if there is a bug it should be caught before the release and fairly easy to fix.

So re the code freeze:
