Yes. Anyway,  multiple serial consoles are incompatible with
stubdomain anyway - should it error out if serial_list have multiple
elements? Or silently ignore others?

Leftover from Qubes-specific part of this patch (non-cdrom disks are
converted to SCSI for readonly support, dropping index avoids hitting
IDE limitation of 4 disks). I'll remove this chunk.
