No worries. Fortunately, we do have a way to do it with qemu monitor.

1. Boot the guest with the below included in the qemu cmdline:

    -netdev bridge,id=<net_name>,br=virbr0,helper=/usr/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper

2. Once the guest boots, run the below command on qemu monitor to hot-plug a pci
   device:

    device_add rtl8139,netdev=<net_name>,mac=52:54:00:88:31:28,id=<net_id>

3. Try hot-unplug of the device to recreate the kernel Oops.

    device_del <net_id>
