ok, will do

In general, yes. It is driver(frontend) domid. But, at least for now, I 
don't see why we will need an additional property for that.

xen,domid sounds ambiguous to me.

xen,backend-domid sounds perfectly fine to me, I even think it fits better.



Stefano, Juergen, would you be happy with new xen,backend-domid name?

If yes, Stefano could you please clarify, would you be OK if I retained 
your R-b tags (for all patches in current series which touch that 
property) after doing such renaming?

ok, will do. Could you please clarify, shall I use?

unevaluatedProperties: false

or

unevaluatedProperties:

type: object


I am not too familiar with this stuff. Both variants seem to pass 
validation.


Thank you.
