Yes :)

I have more than one virtio-blk:

-drive file=/dev/ram0,id=d0,if=none -device 
virtio-blk-pci,drive=d0,x-datap-plane=on \
-drive file=/dev/ram1,id=d0,if=none -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=d1

Then I get /dev/vda and /dev/vdb in guest. They are in the same size.

The question is how do I tell which is /dev/ram0 and which is /dev/ram1,
without bothering peaking PCI addr, etc.?
