You don't get the full CD-ROM passthrough functionality with
host_device. Specifically, if you eject the virtual drive, the physical
drive will only be ejected with host_cdrom, and the same is true for
lock_medium.

I think we may also make an attempt at detecting physical media change
ocassionally with host_cdrom, but I doubt that this is working reliably
anyway (the driver function is .bdrv_is_inserted, so it would be polling
rather than processing an event; and I'm not sure when it's called).
