[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] ide: Adds model=s option, allowing the user to override the default disk model name QEMU HARDDISK

Some Linux distributions use the /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_name-of-disk-model_serial addressing scheme when refering to partitions in /etc/fstab and elsewhere. This causes problems when starting a disk image taken from an existing physical server under qemu, because when running under qemu
