This patch sets a new 10 seconds unplug timeout for PPC64
guests. All other archs will keep the default 5 seconds
timeout.

Instead of putting 'if PPC64' conditionals inside qemu_hotplug.c
to set the new timeout value, a new QEMU driver attribute
'unplugTimeout' was added. The timeout value is set during
qemuStateInitialize only once. All qemu_hotplug.c functions
that uses the timeout have easy access to a qemu_driver object,
thus the change to use unplugTimeout is straightforward.

The now unused 'qemuDomainRemoveDeviceWaitTime' global can't
be simply erased from qemu_hotplug.c though. Next patch will
remove it properly.


Sorry for the wrong review delay. I see this implements danpb's suggestion from the previous thread. The implementation seems a little odd to me though because it is differentiating on host arch, but this is about guest arch right? And probably an arbitrary number of options, like I imagine TCG would want a longer timeout too (though that's not anything you need to deal with)

So I think this should be a function that lives in qemu_hotplug.c and acts on a DomainDef at least. The test suite will have to mock that in a qemuhotplugmock.c file, tests/qemucpumock.c is a good example to follow.

If you do that as an upfront patch, it can go in first. Then add the ppc changes in an add on patch.

You can CC me on the next version and I will review it

Thanks,
Cole
