block: Fix virtual media change for if=none
BlockDriverState member removable controls whether virtual media
change (monitor commands change, eject) is allowed. It is set when
the "type hint" is BDRV_TYPE_CDROM or BDRV_TYPE_FLOPPY.
The type hint is only set by drive_init(). It sets BDRV_TYPE_FLOPPY
for if=floppy. It sets BDRV_TYPE_CDROM for media=cdrom and if=ide,
scsi, xen, or none.
if=ide and if=scsi work, because the type hint makes it a CD-ROM.
if=xen likewise, I think.
For the same reason, if=none works when it's used by ide-drive or
scsi-disk. For other guest devices, there are problems:
* fdc: you can't change virtual media
$ qemu [...] -drive if=none,id=foo,... -global isa-fdc.driveA=foo
QEMU 0.12.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) eject foo
Device 'foo' is not removable
unless you add media=cdrom, but that makes it readonly.
* virtio: if you add media=cdrom, you can change virtual media. If
you eject, the guest gets I/O errors. If you change, the guest sees
the drive's contents suddenly change.
* scsi-generic: if you add media=cdrom, you can change virtual media.
I didn't test what that does to the guest or the physical device,
but it can't be pretty.
