In the past, users have been able to specify xvda or xvdb and it has worked. We are now validating device names against the expected name from the backend, and this causes confusion, especially for lxc which expecting device names to be /dev/a /dev/b /dev/c etc. This patch addresses the issue by automatically converting between different formats. The proper format for the backend will be returned by the api. Includes tests to verify that the conversion works and that the lxc values work as expected.
