[PATCH 0/2] libxl: Stubdom cd-rom changing support



These two patches enable cd-rom media changing for an HVM with a
linux stubdom.

The first patch allows use of non-QDISK drives with a stubdom.  The
second expands the cd-rom changing code to support the stubdom case.

To change the cd-rom medium, libxl will:
 - QMP eject the medium from QEMU
 - block-detach the old PV disk
 - block-attach the new PV disk
 - QMP change the medium to the new PV disk by fdset-id

The QMP change insert uses fdset-id STUBDOM_FDSET_CD + $disk - 'a'.
That is, hda -> 'a', so
STUBDOM_FDSET_CD + 'a' - 'a' = STUBDOM_FDSET_CD.
For hdc:
STUBDOM_FDSET_CD + 'c' - 'a' = STUBDOM_FDSET_CD + 2.

The stubdom must internally handle adding /dev/xvdc to the appropriate
fdset inside QEMU.

A script like this:

Can be called by busybox mdev configured like this:
