The latest generation of -disk patches posted to upstream qemu-devel are
looking quite promising & with any luck should get accepted for merge in
the very near future.

Are these block & net drivers able todo  hot-plug/unplug after a domain
has been created ?  If so we'd also want to have disk_add/disk_remove
and net_add/net_remove  monitor commands (cf usb_add/usb_remove) for
on-the-fly changes.

Dan.
