You are working at the wrong layer... there are block-scripts... don't
edit the xend python stuff!

And you understand that /dev/xvdp is for INSIDE the host?

But there is some other news... with Xen 3.3 pvSCSI is possible. Thus it 
might be better to pass along a scsi generic device instead of a disk.
