Just like for domain starting, this sets the disk's unpriv_sgio

Again, does this do the right thing if some other domain already had
cdbfilter='no' (aka kernel allows SG_IO) but this domain omitted the
cdbfilter attribute (which defaults to cdbfilter='yes' but does not
satisfy the if(disk->cdbfilter) condition)?

I think it does the right thing, because not specifying "cdbfilter"
should mean it doesn't care about what the kernel setting is, not
means cdbfiler="yes" instead. Assuming that one used rawio="yes"
for a domain, and if we defaults cdbfilter to "yes", it will cause
regression, as the user still expects SG_IO commands can be executed
on the disk, however, it's disabled by cdbfilter="yes".


 I suspect that will be
worked out when you rework things to use a tri-state rawio.

Of course, this is based on we use a separate XML tag like cdbfilter,
it won't stand anymore if we finally use a tri-state rawio.
