When xend is restarted, bootable flags of all disk devices are lost and then
the first disk is marked as bootable by a "compatibility hack". When a guest
domain is created with a mixture of several vbd and tap devices, the
compatibility hack may fail to choose the right bootable device. Thus
preventing the guest to be restarted. This patch fixes this behavior by
remembering bootable flag for each disk device in xenstore database.
