can't boot when using more than 6 disks since qemu-kvm-0.13

[Andreas 'ac0v' Specht]

It's not possible to pass more than 6 disks to a guest since qemu-kvm-0.13 (also tested with 0.14).
If I pass more than 6 disks (as shown below) the machine complains that their is no bootable disk,

The problem occurs with virtio and without virtio.

eg.

/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm -boot c -drive file=/dev/vgr5/fs-01,if=virtio -drive file=/dev/vgr5/fs-01_srv_workspace,if=virtio -drive file=/dev/vgr5/fs-01_srv_media,if=virtio -drive file=/dev/vgr5/fs-01_srv_company,if=virtio -drive file=/dev/vgr5/fs-01_srv_tmp,if=virtio -drive file=/dev/vgr5/fs-01_srv_download,if=virtio -drive file=/dev/vgr5/fs-01_srv_share,if=virtio -drive file=/dev/vgr5/fs-01_srv_backup,if=virtio -drive file=/dev/vgr5/fs-01_srv_private,if=virtio -drive file=/dev/vgr5/fs-01_srv_build,if=virtio -drive file=/dev/vgr5/fs-01_srv_dev,if=virtio -drive file=/dev/vgr5/fs-01_srv_backup2,if=virtio -drive file=/dev/vgr5/fs-01_srv_ftp,if=virtio -cpu qemu64 -smp 2 -m 4G -append root=/dev/vda -usbdevice tablet -net nic,macaddr=90:e6:ba:9d:00:0,model=e1000 -net tap,ifname=tap0,script=/usr/sbin/qemu-ifup,downscript=/usr/sbin/qemu-ifdown -monitor unix:/var/run/kvm/fs-01/monitor,server,nowait -pidfile /var/run/kvm/fs-01/pid -k de -kernel /srv/kvm/kernel/linux-2.6.38-gentoo -append root=/dev/vda -vnc :0 -name fs-01,process=fs-01 -vga std

Triaging old bug tickets... QEMU 0.13 and 0.14 are pretty outdated nowadays, can you still reproduce this behavior with the latest version of QEMU?
