So hotplug seems sane as a bus level concept to me. The problem is
busses are a collection of general devices so the bus concept is lost
when you move from the container to the contained. Are we missing an
absraction layer here - TYPE_BUS_DEVICE?

Has some potential embedded applications is we want to use it for
power-down/up emulation. Exactly what such a sysbus hotplug handler
would look like is an open question.
