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. Changes since v3: - Moved QMP command for drive_unplug() to separate patch Changes since v2: - Added QMP command for drive_unplug() Changes since v1: - CodingStyle fixes - Added qemu_aio_flush() to bdrv_unplug() Signed-off-by: Ryan Harper
