Oh, my bad. Does the following patch help?

Subject: [PATCH] acpi/piix4: allow pci hotplug for cold plugged device.

This patch fixes 5beb8ad503c88a76f2b8106c3b74b4ce485a60e1
reported by Cam Macdonell <cam@cs.ualberta.ca>.
Before the change set, cold plugged device can be hot unplugged.
This patch unbreaks it.

That comment is pretty obscure :)

Do we even need this check at all?

How about the following?

Reached here during qemu creating a machine before
VM runs. hot plug event shouldn't be triggered
because it's dangerous.

Hmm, I suppose you don't like the condition more complex.
How about "if (qdev_hotplug)".
An access function to qdev_hotplug in qdev.c would be desirable.

No, I am just trying to understand why is hotplug event dangerous.
We still get it if we do device add before starting the VM, right?

I'm not sure if it's safe to call enable/disable_device() and
pm_update_sci() before starting VM.
So I'd like to avoid to call them instead of making sure it.
If someone else ensures its safety, I'm willing to eliminate the if clause.

Well I don't think it's dangerous.
I guess it makes sense for whatever is supplied on qemu command line
to not cause a hotplug event.

Why?

But, those functions inject a hot plug event into a guest.

Because the same effect can be achieved by starting qemu with vm
stopped, adding device, then starting qemu.

That's why I think your patch is correct. Just the comment is
a bit misleading in saying it's dangerous.
It's just more correct without the event.
