That's what i though too. But I have a question, if we don't proble 
acpiphp on the guest, and execute below commands:

Hot plug:
(qemu) drive_add 0 
file=/resource/changlox/test.raw,id=drive-virtio-disk1,if=none
(qemu) device_add virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-virtio-disk1,id=virtio-disk1

Hot remove:
(qemu) device_del virtio-disk1
(qemu) drive_del drive-virtio-disk1
(qemu) qom-list /machine/peripheral
type (string)
virtio-disk1 (child<virtio-blk-pci>)
(qemu) info block
foo (#block122): suse1.qcow2 (qcow2)
    Cache mode:       writeback, direct
    Backing file:     suse.qcow2.orgin (chain depth: 1)

ide1-cd0: [not inserted]
    Removable device: not locked, tray closed

floppy0: [not inserted]
    Removable device: not locked, tray closed

sd0: [not inserted]
    Removable device: not locked, tray closed
(qemu) drive_add 0 
file=/resource/changlox/test.raw,id=drive-virtio-disk1,if=none
Duplicate ID 'drive-virtio-disk1' for drive

'info block' shows nothing, but we can't add drive who's id 
is'drive-virtio-disk1' too。 There is a more serious situation, we could 
*never* destory device memory with 'device_del', it's memory leak to me 
if the guest os never support hot-plug and the user don't know this 
information.
