The new vbd interface is already there, up to the xi_* tools
level. There's a bit more finessing needed down in Xen I think, but
nothing very major.

Depending on how complex you want your vbd configurations to be, you
could quite easily add some alloc/dealloc/manage-vbd scripts on top of
xi_vbd_create and xi_vbd_add.

I'm not sure how long it will take to get our own higher-level tools
sorted. It's top of our todo list, so it should start coming together
in the next few weeks.
