Michael,
Can you please comment on Jason's question: why we have a problem only with q35 and not with legacy pc?
If you have a simple answer, it will help us in further work with other hot plug/unplug problems.

Thanks,
Yuri Benditovich

Maybe we should just del all queues in virtio_device_unrealize?
Will allow us to drop some logic tracking which vqs were created.


Yes, this is also possible with some rework of virtio_device_free_virtqueues.
virtio-net has some additional operations around queue deletion, it deletes queues when switches from single queue to multiple.
