Along with phy, file and tap for block device types there appear to be a 'drdb' option too.  Do we actively support it?  If so do we treat it same as 'phy' and use blkback for backend?

Regarding VDEV (appears to be referred to as drive designation in some specificatons) -

Other than hd[x] and xvd[x], are there other supported VDEV formats?
