PowerPC pseries based VMs do not support a floppy disk controller.
This prohibits libvirt from creating qemu command with floppy device.

Extending the qemuxml2argvtest with a test case that fails on such
config would be nice.

There is no need to error out earlier for machines that do not use
deviceboot. This error can be dropped, we will hit the next one.

This is more appropriate place for the error message. Personally, I would move it
above the switch() and let the switch only deal with boot indexes.

                  bootindex = bootFloppy;
                  bootFloppy = 0;
                  break;

This is dead code, the condition will never be true here, we already
matched the error above.

This code path can only be taken for QEMUs not having QEMU_CAPS_DRIVE,
i.e. older than at least 7 years. I do not think touching this part of
code is worth it.

This function is used to parse the command line of a running QEMU. If
QEMU rejects the floppy drive on the command line, such a machine would
not be running. If it quietly ignores it, we should do that too to get a
matching config.

Thanks for the response Jan. I have made necessary changes as per your comments. Along with the changes I have added a test case.

Thanks,
Madhu Pavan.
