SD cards are currently passed by using -drive only which would not be compatible with using -blockdev fully. Floppies at least in the case of the i440 machine type don't have a reasonable qdev ID if -drive is not used and thus would not allow queries and other operations. Since floppy drives are obsolete anyways clear blockdev when using them. Clear QEMU_CAPS_BLOCKDEV if the VM has such devices.
