Description of problem:
Starting udev-032-9, udev creates /dev/dvdX symlinks for DVD drives.
While this is certainly correct and helpful, I think DVD drives ought
to get /dev/cdromX symlinks, too (they can read CDROMs, after all)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
udev-032-9

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start system with udev-032-9
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  No /dev/cdromX symlinks for DVD drives

Expected Results:  /dev/cdromX symlinks for DVD drives

I just noticed that my IDE DVD writer (hdc) did indeed get a
/dev/cdrom symlink, but the SCSI DVD drive (scd0) didn't.

[sun@nausicaa ~ :) 22]$ ls -l /dev/cd*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 3 Oct  9 13:06 /dev/cdrom -> hdc
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 4 Oct  9 11:07 /dev/cdrom1 -> scd1
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 3 Oct  9 13:06 /dev/cdwriter -> hdc
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 4 Oct  9 11:07 /dev/cdwriter1 -> scd1
[sun@nausicaa ~ :) 23]$ ls -l /dev/dvd*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 3 Oct  9 13:06 /dev/dvd -> hdc
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 4 Oct  9 11:07 /dev/dvd1 -> scd0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 3 Oct  9 13:06 /dev/dvdwriter -> hdc
