Public bug reported:

Description
===========
Setting custom properties on glance images allows us to select the type of disk bus e.g. VIRTIO/IDE/SCSI.
Although SATA disk bus works perfectly for qemu/kvm, it is not allowed due to a check in virt/libvirt/blockinfo.py : is_disk_bus_valid_for_virt

- some Linux (custom) images require use of SATA bus rather than any
other that seems to be allowed.

- It seems to be an artificial restriction (to me), but do point out if
this isn't a case.
