[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 21/27] block: Assume raw for drives without media

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

qemu -cdrom /dev/cdrom with an empty CD-ROM drive doesn't work any more because
we try to guess the format and when this fails (because there is no medium) we
exit with an error message.

This patch should restore the old behaviour by assuming raw format for such
drives.
