PowerPC pseries based VMs do not support a floppy disk controller.
Here the commit message mentions a controller, but the code only checks
for the <disk type='floppy'/> device,
not for <controller type='fdc'/>

Should we forbid that one too? AFAIK we've auto-added it to the XML
only if there was at least floppy.
We need not forbid fdc, as checking for floppy device will fulfill the need. Yes, fdc is added only if there was at least one floppy device.


Either way, the series looks good to me.

This prohibits libvirt from creating qemu command with floppy device.
