Because opcode 0xA1 has a different meaning for CDROM/MMC devices.
On such devices 0xA1 means BLANK, so it would collide if QEMU some day

Please make this conditional on the type _not_ being TYPE_ROM.

May I ask why cdrom device should be an exception?

only describes direct access devices---type=0x00).  The 0xa1 command is
"BLANK" for CD-ROMs.
