Could you update us on the status for those patches, is there
any chance to get this in QEmu upstream ? I have only seen feddback
from Gerd Hoffmann on that thread but maybe I'm missing some of the
action !
Note: upstream qemu got device_add and device_del monitor commands
meanwhile which can be used to hotplug devices.
device_add accepts the same syntax the -device command line switch expects.
device_del expectes an id.
For libvirt it probably makes sense to start supporting this when
switching over to -device (probably for qemu 0.12+).
cheers,
Gerd
