The bdrv's represent the concept of "drive" rather than "media", and
also in the case the bdrv must be present whenever there is a SD slot,
not an SD card (so that monitor command change and eject can be used).
I agree that not all machines have an SD slot, as not all machines
have a cd-rom drive or floppy drive.

So this needs to be fixed but this commit was a quick fix for the
regression from the -drive patch.
