sys/dev/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c:
	On XenServer versions up to an including 6.2, paravirtualized
	CDROM support is broken.  When running in an HVM domain,
	ignore paravirtualized instances of CDROM media, and instead
	rely on native drivers attaching to emulated hardware.  This
	functions correctly on all currently known Xen based
	platforms.
