[Qemu-devel] Versatile harddisks hot add and remove

[Benoît CANET]

Hello,

I'm using the versatile emulation to test a system running under Linux.
Hot pluging and removing of scsi drives on the virtual machine is a
feature needed for this project.

The existing "drive_add" command is compiled only for i386.
A small patch adding this command to the ARM target is working nicely.
Is there a technical reason why "drive_add" is restricted to i386 ?
Is this patch of interest for the upstream ?

Does anyone have any idea about how to write the missing lsi53c895a.c code
needed for a "drive_remove" command ?

Best regards
