Simplify hypervisor block_devices structure
This is a partial forward-port of commit 1136 on the 1.2 branch: The hypervisor doesn't need to be passed the whole block device structure, so we'll just give it the block device name on the local node, and the name as seen by the instance. This will make it easier to manipulate it later without messing with the block devices (eg. by changing the system name to a symlink to the name itself). Since the HVM hypervisor changes the "virtual" name a note is added calling for a redesign that doesn't need this change, as different hypervisors and emulation types will anyway have different names for exported devices. Reviewed-by: iustinp The changes in this patch compared to the original are: - we keep passing the original disk object, not for its iv_name, but for it's physical_id which is needed by the file driver (this could be fixed maybe) - we don't use the iv_name anymore, since in 2.0 we already use the index of the device Original-Author: ultrotter
