That's rather unpleasant. How is libvirt supposed to know when device
tray has moved then?
A floppy drive doesn't have the tray in reality. So as with a real drive
the medium will always eject if you "push the button". [1] The guest
can't reject it. I'll tweak the code appropriately since it
might not work with floppies correctly at this point.

[1] I've seen floppy drives (or were it ls120) with software eject
functionality ...
