Found when xl was parsing a configuration file with the disk line:

disk = [ 'backendtype=phy,backend=3,vdev=xvda,access=w,target=/dev/clam/vm1' ]

This is after adding another patch allowing backend domain ID for disk/vif to
be changed in the config, so it may or may not show up on its own; I didn't
test the new syntax until I needed it.
