qdev hotplug: infrastructure and monitor commands. Adds device_add and device_del commands. device_add accepts accepts the same syntax like the -device command line switch. device_del expects a device id. So you should tag your devices with ids if you want to remove them later on, like this: device_add pci-ohci,id=ohci device_del ohci Unplugging via pci_del or usb_del works too.
