    xen/kbdif: Add unique input device identifier
    
    If frontend is configured to expose multiple input device instances
    then backend may require a way to uniquely identify concrete input
    device within the frontend. This is useful for use-cases where
    virtual input device needs to be matched to physical input device.
    Add XenBus "unique-id" node parameter, so this sort of use-cases can
    be implemented.
