As I've wrote before, there were hot-unplug patches merged last month,
see for reference http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-09/msg05195.html
and this series could benefit from them.

So please look take in account not addressed yet comments on V3
and rebase on current master instead of stable 2.1.2.
