Bug Description
whole_disk_name and partition_name functions in elements/
Many prefixes are handled, however 'xvd', which is the default prefix used for Xen PV disks, is not handled.
The impact of this is Xen disks will not pass through these functions, and whole_device_name returns the empty string rather than (for example) /dev/xvda.

Add support for Xen PV disks
Xen paravirtualised disks (supported by most modern kernels) have the
"xvd" prefix (e.g. xvda0). The functions to strip partitions need to
match on Xen PV disks otherwise the device name is discarded.
