After I run this

The kernel sends a single

Sorry to interrupt you again guys, but: the discussion started with
virtio-blk hotplug and now we're talking about SCSI commands? Sure
somebody switched topic at some point :) and anyway this is irrelevant
to what virtio-blk can/cannot do.
BTW, for virtio-scsi the spec provides a way to do hotplug and hotunplug
without any polling, though it's not implemented yet in the driver.
