The xenlinux backend uses existing SCSI devices. The pvops backend uses
devices provided by xen-scsiback which in turn is a frontend in the SCSI
target framework. This has to be configured manually before usage. I
have to document all this in the wiki.

JÃrgen suggested to check if libxl could do the configuration in
configfs, as a replacement for targetcli. Not sure if thats doable. It
would require yet another syntax in vscsi=[]. I will look at this later.
