This patch series decouples the detachment of a block device from the removal
of the backing pci-device.  Removal of a hotplugged pci device requires the
guest to respond before qemu tears down the block device. In some cases, the
guest may not respond leaving the guest with continued access to the block
device.  

The new monitor command, drive_unplug, will revoke a guests access to the
block device independently of the removal of the pci device.

The first patch adds a new drive find method, the second patch implements the
monitor command and block layer changes.
