Currently when we attempt to change the cdrom in a qemu VM the monitor
doesn't generate an error if the target filename doesn't exist. I've
submitted a patch[1] for this. This patch is the libvirt qemu-driver
side which catches the error message from the monitor and reportes the
error to libvirt. This means that virsh attach-disk cdrom commands
won't appear to succeed when qemu change command actually failed.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c: in qemuMonitorTextChangeMedia() look
for failure to access the new data

+ goto cleanup;
