I am not sure we could easily map a renamed tap (can they be renamed?)
device to a domid.

I think I could prepare the patch.

One question: can I assume /sys is always mounted and the
'/sys/.../device/nodename', contains 'backend/vif/$domid/*' or should
there be a fall-back to the old behaviour?

BTW, when 'device/nodename' exists and contains 'backend/vif/*' we don't
need to check 'device/devtype' – one file access less.
