When starting a VM with an empty cdrom which has <iotune> configured the startup fails as qemu is not happy about setting tuning for an empty drive: error: internal error: unable to execute 'block_set_io_throttle', unexpected error: 'Device has no medium' Resolve this by skipping the setting of throttling for empty drives and updating the throttling when new medium is inserted into the drive.
