Here is an attempt to ignore disks in a hyper-v disks, and let ata_piix
handle only the configured cdrom devices (iso of physical).
If the disks are not ignored, they will appear twice, once through
ata_piix and once through hv_storvsc.

Once hv_storvsc can also handle the configured cdrom devices, the added
piix_pata_read_id() function can be removed again. Only the check in
piix_init() or something similar needs to be done.

Maybe there is a better way enable only ATA_DEV_ATAPI?
