Description
After booting an HVM domain with an empty CD-ROM, after some time, it disappears
from the xm list -l config altogether. It might be related to xdb failing to
open an empty device and eventually unattaching.

This is a serious problem as we rely on that CD-ROM as a workaround for 6570357
Actually, on testing this, the workaround is still good after all, so
this is less important. It might still be a problem if Innerspace
ever uses 'virsh dumpxml' though.
Due to other issues, it's best to grab the XML while the domain is shut down.  That restriction will change with libvirt 0.4.5, but until we get there, I'm marking this bug as reviewed.
