1) Both linux and windows domU with qemu upstream have an additional

Is there a way to remove these additionals block devices?
the best way would be to pass a device or a global command line option
to QEMU to change the default for isa-fdc


2) xl cd-eject and cd-insert are not working:

backend phy unsuitable as phys path not a block device
libxl: error: libxl_device.c:269:libxl__device_disk_set_backend: no
suitable backend for disk hdb
cd-eject should work by trying to insert an empty cdrom.
In particular the disk format should be LIBXL_DISK_FORMAT_EMPTY, but I
think this is not the case here.
I guess it is a bug in parse_disk_config.

It looks like it is trying to stat "raw:/mnt/vm/iso/QUANTAL.iso" instead
of "/mnt/vm/iso/QUANTAL.iso".  The format parsing must be wrong.

Seem there is parsing error about backend and device/iso path, for now I
not found solution for fix it on code.
I've added -nodefaults option to qemu upstream to remove empty floppy and cdrom with success. Please could this be added by default on libxl on qemu upstream starting?

About cd-eject cd-insert parsing bug can you solve please?

I'll put this on the release tracking list.
