Out of curiosity, _why_ this is necessary?
For the install time, isn't it trivial to use regular ide/sata cdrom
drive or an usb flash instead of more exotic ways? Most of the time
cdrom is only needed for the installation, later on you can either
remove it entirely or switch it to virtio if needed.

We did lots of installations of various systems out there in qemu/kvm,
and we always use most common devices during this time.

Thanks,
