[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 4/4] hw/arm/virt: Make block devices default to virtio

[Peter Maydell]

Now we have virtio-pci, we can make the virt board's default block
device type be IF_VIRTIO. This allows users to use simplified
command lines that don't have to explicitly create virtio-pci-blk
devices; the -hda &c very short options now also work.

This means we also need to set no_cdrom to avoid getting a
default cdrom device -- this is needed because the virtio-blk
device will fail if it is connected to a block backend with
no media, which is what the default cdrom device typically is.
Providing a cdrom with media via -cdrom will still work.
