I tend to kill the drives_table[] completely.  It mixes host and guest 
state, we need to separate them.

For the host side I think about a linked list built from stripped down 
DriveInfo which contains the hostside info only (BlockDriverState + 
friends) and a name to reference it.

The guest side will link to the host side state using the name, probably 
passed as attribute.

cheers,
