[Qemu-devel] Cannot not unplug cold-plugged devices

[Cam Macdonell]

Hi,

I was trying to do a "device_del" on my ivshmem device and it won't
work unless the device is added via hotplug.  If the device is
coldplugged (added at startup) then nothing happens.  I think I
tracked this behaviour to the patch below.

Is not allowing coldplugged devices to be unplugged the desired behaviour?

Thanks,
Cam

    call hotplug callback even when not hotplug case for later use.
    And move hotplug check into hotplug callback.
    PCIE slot needs this for card presence detection.
