xl: disk parsing preparation for empty cdrom devices
Prepare the ground for parsing the xend empty cdrom syntax, by separating out some non-functional changes as this pre-patch: * Clarify the disk syntax documentation wording to refer to deprecated syntaxes too. * Make DPC in libxlu_disk_l.l useable in the helper functions as well as in lexer rules, by providing two definitions, each in force in the appropriate parts of the file. * Break the <vdev>[:<devtype>] parsing out into a helper function, `vdev_and_devtype'. No functional change. Signed-off-by: Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@eu.citrix.com> Acked-by: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com> Committed-by: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com>
