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.
