It seems like you'd have to invent this system yourself by some creative 
means, such as delivering virtual block devices in a standardized manner 
containing the necessary info from the Dom0, utilizing Xen's XMLRPC 
backend, or some similar trick.

I'd be pretty surprised if Xen does do this, though.
