Just an heads up on disk parsing: we are about to change the disk API,
before the xen 4.1 release. That's because we realized that the current
API entangles the disk backend and the disk format together; so we are
going to separate them, using two separate fields: backend and format.
An change in the xl disk config parser will also follow, that should
help you make the corresponding changes to this function.
Everything else on the libxenlight side looks good!
