From: Marek Marczykowski <marmarek(a)invisiblethingslab.com>
At least Xen supports backend drivers in another domain (aka "driver
domain"). This patch introduces XML config option for such setting as
'domain' attribute of 'source' element. Verification its content is left
for the driver.
In the future same option will be needed for USB devices (hostdev
objects), but for now libxl doesn't have support for PVUSB.

Changes in v2:
- describe in docs/formatdomain.html.in
- enforce empty domain tag (only 'name' attribute allowed)
Changes in v3:
- change <domain name='xx'/> element to domain='' attribute of
source
element - this is more logical place
- grammar of docs
Changes in v4:
- revert back to separate element, named <backenddomain name='xx'/>
