Previously an iso image that contains nothing was inserted to cdrom
after guest installation had finished.

With this patch we make cdrom really empty.  This helps catch bug that
prevents booting hvm guest with empty cdrom drive.

Remove empty iso image generate in ts-{debian-hvm,redhat}-install as
well.

However, given the bugs currently being discussed, and the fact that
we're currently in a pre-freeze crunch, I'm reluctant to push this to
osstest staging right now.

On any stable branches with empty cd bugs, it would immediately fail
and cause blockages.

I'd like to make this change during the 4.7 freeze period, after fixes
for these bugs are available in staging.  During the freeze the fixes
can be backported to stable branches.

Thanks,
Ian.

I agree. I stated more or less the same opinion in cover letter. :-)
