[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/3] hw/block: Introduce rotational qdev property |
Date: |

The Linux kernel uses different I/O scheduler depending if the block
device is a rotational device or not. Also it uses rotational devices
to add entropy to the random pool.
This patch add a rotational qdev property so that the block device can
be configured as a rotational device or a non-rotational device. Default
to true to not change the default behavior.
