I should mention we decided at the Xen Summit, that I will start a try to
modify the virtio spec to include the backend id (domid in the Xen case)
in the device independent config part.

As this will take some time to be accepted (if ever), other means to
specify the backend domid are needed until then. DT is one possibility
(at least on Arm), while Xenstore is the way to go for setups with a
Xen toolstack.
