If you want something that is accessible via the BIOS etc. in HVM

Yes, but since we've discovered that people do use xvda (and have been
doing this for long time --- our test framework has been running for
many years configured like that) --- do we want this to suddenly break?
So you want us to change the spec to match the implementation ?
(I haven't looked what happens with trad qemu.)
If we change the spec, how would a user request an xvda with no
emulated device ?
Can we allow specifying xvdX when we know that seabios is going to be used?
