What's passed in is the xenstore path to that specific vif's backend 
entries, for example "backend/vif/26/0".  In 'online' mode 
backend/vif/26/0/domain exists.  In 'offline' mode, none of that data is 
accessible, or at least the domain entry is no longer there.
I could store the associations between vifs and domainIDs/domain names 
locally and perform lookups, but I was just looking for a xend provided 
method to grab the domain(id) that "owned" the vif we're bringing offline.
Thanks,
