The Q35 board initialization does not currently bother to look
for any drives added by the various syntactical sugar shorthands
to be added to the AHCI HBA. These include -hda through -hdd,
-cdrom, and -drive if=ide shorthands.

An obstacle to having implemented this sooner is debate over
whether or not to add an additional interface type, and how to
manage the different units-per-bus mappings of various HBA
implementations.

This patch series:
(1) Does not add IF_AHCI, but reuses IF_IDE
(2) Allows the if_max_devs table to be overridden
(3) Adds this override to the Q35 board type.
(4) Finally, adds implementation to Q35 initialization.

Other changes from RFC2:
- Re-uses ide_drive_get instead of ahci_drive_get
- Adds units-per-bus property to all Q35 machines
- Changes orphan scanning to exclude IF_NONE and
  automatically added drives
- Renames 'units-per-idebus' to 'units-per-default-bus'
  And allows override of any one IF type (block_default)

John Snow (6):
  blockdev: Orphaned drive search
  blockdev: Allow overriding if_max_dev property
  pc/vl: Add units-per-default-bus property
  ide: Update ide_drive_get to be HBA agnostic
  qtest/bios-tables: Correct Q35 command line
  q35/ahci: Pick up -cdrom and -hda options
