Bug Description

[Impact]
It is not possible to install an arm64 QEMU instance from the server ISO when attached as a SCSI CD-ROM.

[Test Case]
I'm using the following commands to boot an arm64 QEMU/KVM guest:

dd if=/dev/zero of=flash0.img bs=1M count=64
dd if=/usr/share/qemu-efi/QEMU_EFI.fd of=flash0.img conv=notrunc
dd if=/dev/zero of=flash1.img bs=1M count=64

sudo qemu-system-aarch64 -enable-kvm -m 2048 -cpu host -smp 8 -M virt,gic_version=host -nographic -pflash flash0.img -pflash flash1.img -drive if=none,file=disk.img,id=hd0 -device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 -netdev type=tap,id=net0 -device virtio-net-device,netdev=net0,mac=ac:67:de:d2:4b:06 -drive file=xenial-server-arm64.iso,id=cdrom,if=none,media=cdrom -device virtio-scsi-device -device scsi-cd,drive=cdrom

Currently, the installer fails because it cannot find the CD-ROM.

[Regression Risk]
Just adding virtio kernel modules, no big woop.

I booted the new d-i's cdrom kernel/ramdisk combo in QEMU w/ a daily xenial server iso installed, and verified that it can now detect and mount the CD-ROM.
