[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1.0] scsi-disk: guess geometry

[Paolo Bonzini]

Old operating systems rely on correct geometry to convert from CHS
addresses to LBA.  Providing correct data is necessary for them to boot.

	This fixes booting the FreeDOS image on bochs.sf.net with
	virtio-scsi.  I haven't tested with LSI option ROMs, but
	it should qualify for 1.0.

Thanks, applied to the block-stable branch (for 1.0)
