Ian Campbell suggested getting rid of 'xen_platform_pci_unplug' but unfortunatly the xen-blkfront driver is using it, so we cannot do it.I had a look at what blkfront was using this for and it seems dumb. How did we end up with the frontend driver working around toolstack bugs? If HVM Linux guest didn't want (e.g.,) PV CDROM, the toolstack shouldn't have created one.
Note that this cdrom stuff is actually nothing to do with the unplug variable -- it just happens to be right next to that check. Not that the use of the unplug var there doesn't also look pretty odd...
