This patch modifies the blkback driver to perform a security check (via an ACM get_decision hypercall) before connecting a vbd to a domain. While the security checks performed in the xm tools are convenient for the users, the check added here is intended to strengthen the security guarantees.

Note that the security check in blkback is only enabled when ACM_SECURITY=y in Config.mk.
