Yes. I just noticed it right now myself. I dumped xml for a centos 7 guest
on both installations and for the one that detects as /dev/vda, there is no
virtio-scsi controller type in it's xml. However for another running on new
ACS installation which detects disk as /dev/sda, there is "virtio-scsi"
controller type in it's xml. I even tested it's write speed using dd and it
is was awesome. I was worried wrongly :)

Thanks
