When a user does not explicitly set a <driver> in the disk config, libvirt defers selection of a default to libxl. This approach works fine when starting a domain with such configuration or attaching a disk to a running domain. But when detaching such a disk, libxl will fail with "unrecognized disk backend type: 0". libxl makes no attempt to recalculate a default backend (driver) on detach and simply fails when uninitialized. This patch updates the libvirt disk config with the backend selected by libxl when starting a domain or attaching a disk to a running domain. Another benefit of this approach is that the live XML is also updated with the backend driver selected by libxl.
