Hrm, I guess. It certainly gives the impression of being Linux specific,
even if technically it isn't, since people associate xvd* with Linux
even if it happens to be valid and work elsewhere. I guess in reality
very few people, including BSD folks, are going to change this (because
it'll just work) so there's no chance of them getting confused.
