This is an attempt to fix:
Libvirt BZ:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1180486
Libvirt currently assumes ISA_based floppy disks to be available across all
architectures and machine types. However, PowerPC Book 3S compatible ('ie pseries)
virtual machines do not support Floppy disks.
This patch series prevents libvirt from launching ppc64[le] -based 'pseries'
VMs with floppy devices.
This version of patch attempts to fulfill the coments of Andrea Bolognani
and Jan Tomko on previous version of patch.
