This depends if we have a tray or slot in device. If you eject from a

refers to as Desktop or Laptop CDROM.
BTW, you are supposed to tell the OS what kind of device you have. MMC
describes the "Removable Medium" feature and a "Loading Mechanism" type
(Tables 98 and 99).
000b Caddy/Slot type loading mechanism
001b Tray type loading mechanism
and even more usable:
If the Load bit is set to zero, the Drive is unable to load the medium
or cartridge via the START STOP UNIT command with the LoEj bit set to
one, e.g. the tray type loading mechanism that is found in many portable
PCs.
If the Load bit is set to one, the Drive is able to load the medium or
cartridge.
scsi-cd sets the loading mechanism to "Tray" and the Load bit to one
("Desktop" type). ide-cd doesn't, and it should.
So we can add a qdev property to choose between the two, but:
- first, ide-cd should learn about the Removable Medium feature
- the property should be reflected in the feature too
