Currently device hotplug removal code is tied to device removal via ACPI. All pci devices that are removable via device_del() require the guest to respond to the request. In some cases the guest may not respond leaving the device still accessible to the guest. The management layer doesn't currently have a reliable way to revoke access to host resource in the presence of an uncooperative guest. This patch implements a new monitor command, drive_del, which provides an explicit command to revoke access to a host block device. drive_del first quiesces the block device (qemu_aio_flush; bdrv_flush() and bdrv_close()). This prevents further IO from being submitted against the host device. Finally, drive_del cleans up pointers between the drive object (host resource) and the device object (guest resource).
