For hot-unplug it should do.

Hmm, yes.  Question is how to do that best.  There is qdev_free(). 
Today this is used for hot-unplug only.  Using it on exit() too could 
have unwanted guest-visible side effects as it doesn't just release 
ressources, but also unplugs the device if possible.

Maybe it is better to add a exit notifier ...

cheers,
