The monitor command is:
snapshot_blkdev <device> [snapshot-file] [format]
Default format is qcow2. For now snapshots without a snapshot-file, eg
internal snapshots, are not supported.

The SCSI parallel interface has a limit of 8 devices, but
not the SCSI stack in general. So we should be removing the
hard-coded limit and use MAX_SCSI_DEVS instead.
And we only need to scan those devices which are allocated
by the bus.

Currently device hotplug removal code is tied to device removal via
ACPI. All pci devices that are removable via device_del() require the
guest to respond to the request. In some cases the guest may not
respond leaving the device still accessible to the guest. The management
layer doesn't currently have a reliable way to revoke access to host
resource in the presence of an uncooperative guest.
This patch implements a new monitor command, drive_del, which
provides an explicit command to revoke access to a host block device.
drive_del first quiesces the block device (qemu_aio_flush;
bdrv_flush() and bdrv_close()). This prevents further IO from being
submitted against the host device. Finally, drive_del cleans up
pointers between the drive object (host resource) and the device
object (guest resource).

Additional changes:
* Removed 'extern' from drive_add (avoids too long line).
* Removed 'extern' from other functions (makes declarations
consistent with others in same header file).

Changing block.h or blockdev.h resulted in recompiling most objects.
Move DriveInfo typedef and BlockInterfaceType enum definitions
to qemu-common.h and rearrange blockdev.h use to decrease churn.

We automatically delete blockdev host parts on unplug of the guest
device. Too much magic, but we can't change that now.
The delete happens early in the guest device teardown, before the
connection to the host part is severed. Thus, the guest part's
pointer to the host part dangles for a brief time. No actual harm
comes from this, but we'll catch such dangling pointers a few commits
down the road. Clean up the dangling pointers by delaying the
automatic deletion until the guest part's pointer is gone.
Device usb-storage deliberately makes two qdev properties refer to the
same drive, because it automatically creates a second device. Again,
too much magic we can't change now. Multiple references worked okay
before, but now free_drive() dies for the second one. Zap the extra
reference.

That's where they belong semantically (block device host part), even
though the actions are actually executed by guest device code.
