if no full re-connection, how does everything across different layer
work together?
look at PV driver in HVM domain for example.
xen-platform-pci, xenbus and xen-vbd enable pseudo device,
shared_info/evtchn/xenbus and vbd respectively. when vbd driver found a
broken state when restore, it should reconnect the lower layers first,
since everything is lost.
