[PULL 2/3] hw/ide/piix: Add some documentation to pci_piix3_xen_ide_unplug()

[Anthony PERARD via <qemu-devel@nongnu.org>]

From: Bernhard Beschow <shentey@gmail.com>

The comment is based on commit message
ae4d2eb273b167dad748ea4249720319240b1ac2 'xen-platform: add missing disk
unplug option'. Since it seems to describe design decisions and
limitations that still apply it seems worth having.

+ * request unplug of 'aux' disks (which is stated to mean all IDE disks,
+ * except the primary master).
+ *
+ * NOTE: The semantics of what happens if unplug of all disks and 'aux' disks
+ *       is simultaneously requested is not clear. The implementation assumes
+ *       that an 'all' request overrides an 'aux' request.
