Allow windows builds with xentools 6-1 and above
Windows builds with pre-installed xentools version >= 6.1 require the property 'device_id' to be set on the xen vm record for the VM to build successfully. Also, the device_id needs to be set only if the hypervisor version is greater than or equal to 6.1
For eg, the device_id requires to be set to "0002" in case of Windows with xen tools version >= 6.1

for more information.
Requires:
In Glance, the property 'xenapi_device_id' has to be set on the image_metadata for such images which require a device_id to be built.
Approach taken:
In Nova, the property 'xenapi_device_id' on the image_metadata is copied over to the xen vm record before vm create is invoked.

OK, so this got merged, and it looks like we have more doc worthy material than before, marking as completed and approved -- johnthetubaguy
(johnthetubaguy) This needs more details on how you could use this (like the glance metadata, and how you set it), also it should describe how it should be used with the xenserver version glance attribute, and how it only works on certain versions of XenServer, etc. etc.
