I prefer sane modeling, it shouldn't be driven by implementation detail.

But I would like to note that pci device drivers require driver handshake
before device goes away.
IIUC s390 hotplug is immediate, which is a problem.
Maybe doing the change will help make sure device removal is acked
by guest before it happens?
