[PATCH 0/8] Force detach PCI devices for ACPI-based and PCIe native hot-unplug

Hot-unplugging a PCI device can require cooperation from the guest. For
ACPI PCI hotplug, QEMU notifies the guest through ACPI and the guest
eventually writes the ACPI PCI eject register. For PCIe native hotplug,
QEMU notifies the guest through the PCIe hotplug mechanism and waits for
the slot unplug flow to complete. Only after that completion does QEMU
unrealize the device and emit DEVICE_DELETED.

This can leave a device stuck in the unplug pending state when the guest
does not cooperate. Examples include:

1. The guest has panicked, or the relevant ACPI/PCI hotplug driver is
unavailable.

2. The guest is stalled and cannot handle the hot-unplug event. For
example, stalling the Linux [irq/9-acpi] kernel thread can reproduce this
for ACPI-based hot-unplug.

3. The device was attached to a slot that the guest cannot use. For
example, a pcie-root-port only supports slot 0. If a device is added to a
non-zero slot below a pcie-root-port, the guest may never discover the
device and therefore may never complete the unplug request.

The non-zero slot case has also been discussed in:

pci: don't skip function 0 occupancy verification for devfn auto assign
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/commit/e228d62b4af29bca698ec57efdceb46f392f5444

For example, if root-port.1 is a pcie-root-port, the following command adds
a vhost-scsi-pci device to an invalid slot:

(qemu) device_add vhost-scsi-pci,id=scsi01,wwpn=naa.5001405324af0985,bus=root-port.1,addr=01.0
warning: PCI: slot 1 is not valid for vhost-scsi-pci, parent device only allows plugging into slot 0.

In this situation, the device may be impossible to remove through normal
guest-cooperative hot-unplug. Production environments also need a host side
recovery option when the guest kernel is the reason that unplug does not
complete.

This series adds a force option to QMP device_del and HMP device_del. When
requested, QEMU asks the selected hotplug controller to complete the unplug
through a new force_unplug callback.

This series implements forced unplug for ACPI PCI hotplug and PCIe native
hotplug, which cover common pc/q35/virt cases. SHPC is not implemented by
this series.
