Hotplug unsupported is not an error that can trigger with
a well behaved management such as libvirt.

Expand the scope please. The scope should be "solve a problem xx" not
"solve a problem xx by doing abc".

Not applying a patch is the only tool we maintainers have to influence
people to solve the problem fully. That's why I'm not inclined to apply
"slightly better" patches generally.
