We have discussed this shortly, but we haven't really agreed on whether
this would be a clean solution after all. I mean, if you attach an ISO
file to a virtual CD-ROM drive, the kernel should report the corresponding
block device to be an actual CD-ROM drive, shouldn't it?

See, qemu does it correctly, sunvdc does not. And I assume all other type
of virtualization software (VirtualBox, VMWare) reports the right block
device type either. Otherwise we would have already seen lots of bug
reports regarding this. So I don't think it's justified to add a quirk for
sunvdc, is it?

I'm not sure how this is relevant here?
