[Bug 1467151] [NEW] 60-persistent-storage.rules fails to create by-uuid links to Xen virtual disks (xvd)

[Sergio Gelato]

Public bug reported:

Symptom: on a fresh wily install in a PV virtual machine under Xen,
systemd's boot.mount action fails. /boot is on /dev/xvda1, other
filesystems (including /) are on LVM and get mounted OK [after a manual
"vgchange -ay" at the (initramfs) prompt, but that's a different bug].

Fix (successfully tested): add "xvd*" to the whitelist in
/lib/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules . The fix was inspired by
https://bugs.debian.org/787367 which addressed a similar issue with
bcache.
