A bit concerned about how this interacts with failover,
and 5sec is a lot of time that I hoped we'd avoid with acpi.
Any better ideas of catching such misbehaving guests?
Also at this point I do not know why we deny hotplug
pending_deleted_event in qdev core.
Commit log says:
Device unplug can be done asynchronously. Thus, sending the second
device_del before the previous unplug is complete may lead to
unexpected results. On PCIe devices, this cancels the hot-unplug
process.
so it's a work around for an issue in pcie hotplug (and maybe shpc
too?). Maybe we should have put that check in pcie/shpc and
leave acpi along?
