Hmm, won't this force admins to rewrite their domain definitions ?
Some admin may need to reflesh 100s of domain defintions when he upgrade
distro...

How about

<disk type='block' device='disk' dev='/dev/sda'> <!-- SG_IO on -->
<disk type='block' device='sdisk' dev='/dev/sda'> <!-- SG_IO off -->
(sdisk = secure disk)

and make 'sdisk' as default ?

Thanks,
