I had a look at what blkfront was using this for and it seems dumb. How
did we end up with the frontend driver working around toolstack bugs?
If HVM Linux guest didn't want (e.g.,) PV CDROM, the toolstack shouldn't
have created one.

And perhaps more importantly, if you actually want a PV CDROM in a HVM
guest, it's not possible.
