Hi,
when I start HVM guest that has assigned physical cdrom device (/dev/cdrom), I 
see there are two handles open. One is open by qemu-dm and is used by guest. 
However, what holds second handle? This is hold for whole time guest is running.

Does anybody knows what opens /dev/cdrom during guest creation?

Regards,
Miroslav Rezanina
