Add an 'enumerate_nodedev' qemu configuration variable to control
whether the node device enumeration and add/remove event notification
mechanism is enabled. This ensures only those environments that desire
to utilize a domain vHBA need to have the (slight) overhead of adding
the device hash table to qemu and managing add/remove events for
specific scsi_host and scsi_target events.
