Ok, so it's not 100% safe yet. Better to try again with qemu 2.7.

Thanks for testing !

The hot-remove seems to error out (while it still works in the 
background and after doing a 'revert' and a second 'remove' it finishes 
successfully.) 

But adding the device back into the same slot as before crashes qemu, 
whereas a pure hot-add with no removal before works fine.
