As I understand, this patch only purpose is to remove necessity of
specifying "if=" option for "-drive" command line argument (and drive_add
HMP/QMP command), this way on a machine with SD card interface only you no
longer need to write "-drive file=./my.img,if=sd", you can just write
"-drive file=./my.img"
I would rather have the user be specific about what kind of drive
they are creating... The performance characteristics of IF_SD
are sufficiently different from IDE/SCSI that I'd rather not have
it get picked silently.

Well, performance characteristics of IDE/SCSI do not really matter if
there is no IDE/SCSI support
in machine model. In case if machine supports various interfaces, the
fastest should be set as default,
I don't see anything in this patch that is a bad thing (not anything
that is good either though).
