Please can you include a full/standalone commit message describing the
change and the reasons for it etc, The reference to "earlier discussion"
is likely to be lost with time.

Did we decide to leave DISK_BACKEND_DEFAULT (i.e. libxl chooses based on
the image type, host's backend support etc) for 4.2? I don't mind if we
did but does that make "block-dev-type" as described in patch 1/5
non-optional? (and therefore not really deprecated)

Ian.
