    Adds 'sata' as a valid disk bus for qemu and kvm hypervisors
    
    Reasoning:
    - 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.

Title:
  Disk bus type 'sata' not allowed for qemu and kvm hypervisors

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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.
