Indeed, this patch goes only half way for supporting unplug of bussless
devices (i.e. it only fetches unplug handler without addressing device
lookup issue)

There is no need to invent non existing BUS. We should fix lookup issue
instead of it. Doing something along this lines:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-08/msg04574.html
Above of cause assumes that device is placed in 'peripherals' tree.
Does above patch fixes issue?
