QEMU is not correctly detecting host CDs

Status in QEMU: In Progress
Bug description:
QEMU's block layer contains code for detecting and using ioctls when real
CD-ROM host devices are attached.
This detection is not working in some host OSes while bad implemented on
anothers.
E.g., in Linux host qemu -cdrom /dev/sr0 is not detecting it as a CD-ROM
E.g., in Mac OS X host qemu asks the kernel to enumerate optical devices and
the compares it to the constant string "/dev/cdrom". This is useless, that
enumeration is just enough, and "/dev/cdrom" will NEVER exist in Mac OS X
unless manually created by the user.
