    libvirt: Use SATA bus for cdrom devices when using Q35 machine type
    
    The Q35 machine type no longer provides an IDE bus and will need to use
    a SATA bus to attach legacy devices such as cdroms. More details can be
    found in the following related bug:
    
    Don't assume the guest machine type to be of 'pc'
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1780138
    
    This change now ensures the blockinfo.get_disk_bus_for_device_type
    method will now return "sata" as the bus type when the Q35 machine type
    is used for cdrom devices on QEMU or KVM hosts that are not PPC, S390 or
    AArch64 based.
    
    To enable this the _get_machine_type method has been extracted from the
    Libvirt driver into the Libvirt utils module. This method has also been
    simplified through the removal of the caps parameter, replaced with
    calls to the get_arch utility method and additional extraction of
    architecture specific defaults into the existing
    get_default_machine_type utility method.

Title:
  IDE config drive CDROM doesn't work with q35 machine type

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Description
  ===========

  Setting [libvirt]/hw_machine_type=x86_64=q35 in nova-cpu.conf results
  in any instances booted with a config drive to fail to spawn.

  Steps to reproduce
  ==================

  1. Set [libvirt]/hw_machine_type=x86_64=q35 in nova-cpu.conf
  2. Boot an instance with a config drive

  Expected result
  ===============

  Instance boots correctly.

  Actual result
  =============

  Instance fails to spawn with following error in the compute log:

  libvirt.libvirtError: unsupported configuration: IDE controllers are
  unsupported for this QEMU binary or machine type

  Environment
  ===========

  This was reported on OSP15 CI [1] and has been reproduced upstream
  [2].
