[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server 2/2] fix #4620: cfg2cmd: drive device: correctly handle IDE for q35

[Fiona Ebner]

Only unit 0 for IDE is supported with machine type q35. Currently,
QEMU will fail startup with machine type q35 with an error like
> Can't create IDE unit 1, bus supports only 1 units
when ide1 or ide3 is configured.

Make sure to keep backwards compat form migration by leaving ide0 and
ide2 fixed. Since starting with ide1 or ide3 never worked, they can be
moved to a controller with a higher ID without issue.

For PVE 9, we could simplify the mapping to N -> controller=N,unit=0
while version guarding with running QEMU machine version. Might be
slightly nicer, but it'd add an extra conditional, so probably not
worth it.
