I saw examples of VBD using hdXY and sdXY inside virtual machines, like 
this : disk=phy:hda5,hda1,w

And I would like to do this : disk=phy:md8,md1,w

But it failed (the "real" md driver tried to access something that 
didn't exist, of course, and rootfs couldn't be mounted). Did I do 
something wrong, or is the frontend driver only able to "fake" hdXY and 
sdXY devices ?

FYI, my motivation is to supply mdX devices to ease migration from/to 
real servers.
