Add an attribute named 'removable' to the 'target' element of disks, which controls the removable flag. For instance, on a Linux guest it controls the value of /sys/block/$dev/removable. This option is only valid for USB disks (i.e. bus='usb'), and its default value is 'off', which is the same behaviour as before. To achieve this, 'removable=on' (or 'off') is appended to the '-device usb-storage' parameter sent to qemu when adding a USB disk via '-disk'. A capability flag QEMU_CAPS_USB_STORAGE_REMOVABLE was added to keep track if this option is supported by the qemu version used.

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.
