Here's what I hope is the last ppc related pull request for qemu-6.0.
The 2 patches here revert a behavioural change that after further
discussion we concluded was a bad idea (adding a timeout for
possibly-failed hot unplug requests). Instead it implements a
different approach to the original problem: we again let unplug
requests the guest doesn't respond to remain pending indefinitely, but
no longer allow those to block attempts to retry the same unplug
again.
The change is a bit more complex than I'd like for this late in the
freeze. Nonetheless, I think it's important to merge this for 6.0, so
we don't allow a release which has the probably-a-bad-idea timeout
behaviour.
