Subject: libxl: No emulated disk driver for xvdX disk
From: Anthony PERARD anthony.perard@citrix.com Wed Oct 14 12:05:17 2015 +0100

When a guest configuration list xvdX for its disks, there is no need to
provide an emulated driver for the same target.

Such configuration can work with the OVMF firmware, as it supports PV
disk.
