I believe xen supports it.

Thanks,

Subject: [openstack-dev] [nova] usefulness of device parameter at 
volumeAttachment

Hi,

When someone calls nova volume-attach or the block-device-mapping
parameter at boot, it is possible to specify a device name for the
guest. However I couldn't find any guest OS which would honor this. E.g.
with libvirt/kvm, if the guest has two virtio disks already (vda and
vdb), specifying vdf would be ignored and the disk will be attached as
vdc in the guest.
I propose to deprecate this option and at boot where it is not optional
to accept only auto as an option.

Best regards,

Geza
