[Bug 804593] [NEW] Many "Safely remove" icons on virtualized XPs

[Horacio]

Public bug reported:

I've installed three XPs on an Ubuntu 11.04 server, to virtualize desktops on top of Linux+KVM. There are running ok, with storage and network virtio drivers. The problem is that I got many "Safely remove" icons for:
- PCI Intel 82371B
- PCI RAM
- VirtIO SCSI controller
- VirtIO Ethernet
- VGA

If the user unplug some of this devices, the virtual machine crashes!

I've found some references like, without luck...

- https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9.9 (Mark certain devices as non-hotpluggable)

I've searched for a way to disable pci hot-unplugging in the docs of
libvirt, but couldn't found any way to disable that.

I'm using virsh 0.8.8 and qemu-kvm-0.14.0. I've searched Ubuntu's bugs,
and haven't found anything related to this problem...
