IE. the USB CD-ROM on this POWER7 blade limits transfers to 0x1e000 bytes for example and the Linux "sr" driver on the guest is going to try to give me bigger requests than that if I don't start limiting them, which will cause all sort of errors." It cannot be fixed for emulated SCSI HBAs in general but it can for virtio-scsi.
For disks, this should be fixed simply by using scsi-block instead of scsi-generic. CD-ROMs are indeed more complicated because burning CDs cannot be done with syscalls. :/ Paolo
