As much as I hate to reply to myself... I just did some additional testing and 
realized that if 'iface:ide' is removed, the disks could be inaccessible in 
environments that don't have virtio_scsi (in the guestfs environment). In 
other words, with just ata_piix, the 'iface:ide' might be required.

Do we know if there are any environments which are commonly missing the virtio 
stack? (If the answer is not much, I'd still rather drop iface:ide, and work 
with both backend types (through virtio_scsi).
