Provide the "removable" qdev property bit to override the SCSI INQUIRY
removable (RMB) bit for non-CDROM devices.  This will be used by USB
Mass Storage Devices, which sometimes have this guest-visible bit set
and sometimes do not.  They therefore requires a means for user
configuration.

Should we print an error message when the user tries to make a CD-ROM
non-removable instead of silently ignoring the option?

Good point.  I will add a check in scsi_disk_initfn() for v3.

Actually this case is hard to check against.  The removable property
is a boolean that defaults to false.  We can't detect the difference
between default, cleared, or set.

I'm sending out a new version of the patch series that updates
docs/qdev-device-use.txt to describe how the removable property works.

Hm, I see... Maybe we should make scsi-disk and scsi-cdrom different
devices in the long run, then scsi-cdrom could default to true (or
rather not have the property at all).

Okay, let's just document how it works.

Yes.  Need to dig out and rebase my patches for it.
