I didn't review this in detail yet but my first thought was that this is a libxl API change, and I can't see any provision for backwards compatibility. If you are doing something clever which I've missed then it deserves a comment ;-) Assuming not then the simplest solution would be to remove the struct and just add the name as a field to each affected device. Or maybe an anonymous struct would do the job if the members were backend_domid and backend_name? You could also potentially do something with the provisions around LIBXL_API_VERSION documented in libxl.h.
