Even NICs are hot pluggable now. And since qemu prints a reasonable OK
message we can parse the PCI slot number from the reply which allows for
unplugging as well (delayed that since I'm a bit short on time).

My patch contained a tiny error:
 
-+    safe_path = qemudEscapeShellArg(dev->data.disk->src);
++    safe_path = qemudEscapeMonitorArg(dev->data.disk->src);

corrected version attached,
