Aaron (CCed) sent a similar patch only a few days ago (subject
"[Qemu-devel] PATCH: Adding options to generate SCSI based VMDK
images"). The only difference I see is that his option went like
interface=[ide|lsilogic|buslogic] instead of hard-coding lsilogic. I
think this is a better interface.

Aaron, I asked you to fix some formal things (including tabs and SoB),
but you haven't resubmitted the patch yet. Are you going to send a fixed
version, or should I rather take Alex' patch?
