And not all distros ship hybrid cd images that their installers are
happy with on virtio.  Given that either one may or may not work, I
think it best to honor the user's request and emulate the cd.

Title:
  virtio cdrom detected as hard disk

Status in QEMU:
  Invalid
Status in “qemu” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Trying to install Ubuntu or Debian using virtio to emulate the cdrom
  fails.  This appears to be due to the drive appearing to be a hard
  disk, rather than a cdrom, despite the media=cdrom argument to qemu.

  I'm not sure if this is a bug in qemu, or the kernel virtio driver?
