Log:
  If reading a virtual-device value fails, attempt to read a virtual-device-ext
  value.  Some hosts do not publish "extended" disk IDs via virtual-device in
  an attempt to avoid confusing old blkfront drivers, and without this change
  we failed to attach such disks.
  
  In particular, this commit allows all 24 ephemeral disks on EC2 hs1.8xlarge
  instances to be used, instead of only the first 15.
