The "hotplugged" property is user visible, but it was never meant to be set by the user. There are probably multiple ways to break or crash device code by overriding the property. One example:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu qemu64,hotplugged=true Segmentation fault (core dumped) The DeviceState::hotplugged struct field is set directly by device_initfn(), there's no need to provide a setter for the property.
