Daniel P. Berrange c4896d378b Fix CDROM media change for QEMU when using -device syntax 
Disk devices in QEMU have two parts, the guest device and the host
backend driver. Historically these two parts have had the same
"unique" name. With the switch to using -device though, they now
have separate names. Thus when changing CDROM media, for guests
using -device syntax, we need to prepend the QEMU_DRIVE_HOST_PREFIX
constant

* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Add helper function
  qemuDeviceDriveHostAlias() for building a host backend alias
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Use qemuDeviceDriveHostAlias() to determine
  the host backend alias for performing eject/change commands in the
  monitor

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
