    monitor: allow device_del to accept QOM paths · 6287d827
    Daniel P. Berrangé authored
    
    
    Currently device_del requires that the client provide the
    device short ID. device_add allows devices to be created
    without giving an ID, at which point there is no way to
    delete them with device_del. The QOM object path, however,
    provides an alternative way to identify the devices.
    
    Allowing device_del to accept an object path ensures all
    devices are deletable regardless of whether they have an
    ID.
    
     (qemu) device_add usb-mouse
     (qemu) qom-list /machine/peripheral-anon
     device[0] (child<usb-mouse>)
     type (string)
     (qemu) device_del /machine/peripheral-anon/device[0]
    
    Devices are required to be marked as hotpluggable
    otherwise an error is raised
    
     (qemu) device_del /machine/unattached/device[4]
     Device 'PIIX3' does not support hotplugging
