"xvda" is not currently thought to be necessarily Linux-specific.  See
docs/misc/vbd-interface.text.  Perhaps that needs to be revisited, but
in general it's perfectly possible to pass "xvda" in a domain config
file for a BSD guest, or whatever.  And Linux writing "xvdfoo" in the
config file doesn't always make Linux call the device /dev/xvdfoo.
