E.g., with "pc-q35-4.2", trying to coldplug a virtio-pmem-pci devices results in "virtio-pmem-pci not supported on this bus" Reasons is, that the bus does not support hotplug and, therefore, does not have a hotplug handler. Let's allow coldplugging virtio-pmem devices on such buses. The hotplug order is only relevant for virtio-pmem-pci when the guest is already alive and the device is visible before memory_device_plug() wired up the memory device bits. Hotplug attempts will still fail with: "Error: Bus 'pcie.0' does not support hotplugging" Hotunplug attempts will still fail with: "Error: Bus 'pcie.0' does not support hotplugging" Reported-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Pankaj Gupta <pankaj.gupta.linux@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Pankaj Gupta <pankaj.gupta.linux@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Igor Mammedov <imammedo@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Richard Henderson <rth@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Michael S.
