Michal Privoznik e76ec0fe65 node_device_udev: Also process ID_TYPE=cd/dvd in udevProcessStorage()
When processing node devices, the udevProcessStorage() will be
called if the device is some form of storage. In here, ID_TYPE
attribute is queried and depending on its value one of more
specialized helper functions is called. For instance, for
ID_TYPE=="cd" the udevProcessCDROM() is called, for
ID_TYPE=="disk" the udevProcessDisk() is called, and so on.

But there's a problem with ID_TYPE and its values. Coming from
udev, we are not guaranteed that ID_TYPE will contain "cd" for
CDROM devices. In fact, there's a rule installed by sg3_utils
that will overwrite ID_TYPE to "cd/dvd" leaving us with an
unhandled type. Fortunately, this was fixed in their upstream,
but there are still versions out there, on OS platforms that we
aim to support that contain the problematic rule. Therefore, we
should accept both strings.

Libvirt API for virtualization

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
