Don't extend that qemu automagic please. The new way to handle this is:
-drive if=none,id=mydisk,file=/path/to/some/disk.img
-device megasas,id=raid
-device scsi-disk,bus=raid.0,scsi-id=1,drive=mydisk

--verbose please. I'd prefer to fix scsi-disk bugs and/or limitations
instead of working around them.
