[Xen-devel] [PATCH] Don't use tapdisk for cd-roms

[George Dunlap <george.dunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

blktap does not support the insert / eject commands, and so is not
suitable for cd-roms.

This fixes the bug where libxl uses tapdisk as a cdrom back-end, causing
subsequent eject / insert commands to fail.
