Would it be acceptable to reuse the devid as the "group index"?
The various vdev in vscsi=['pdev,vdev'] will be assigned to the same
vscsictrl if the host part in host:chn:target:lun matches. Right now an
empty vscsictrl has no property to store the "host" part. This could be
handled by either reusing devid, or by introducing a new xenstore
property such as "libxl_vscsictrl_index". The value itself has no
meaning other than being an index or label.
