The effect is that the user don't has to specify the interface type.
Basically:
-drive file=/path/to/file,if=sd
can be replaced by
-drive file=/path/to/file
It means the user doesn't have to know the details of the machine to
know how to attach a disk. Note that the user here can also be a script,
which then becomes a bit simpler.

It still creates a cdrom drive as before, but still doesn't try to
connect it to the SD interface. In short the behaviour on that side is
unchanged.
