Good question - and yeah, that uncertainty makes me also wonder if it makes more sense to delay this patch until after 1.0.5 so we aren't invalidating testing done on rc1. On the other hand, the point of hostdev->missing is to gracefully ignore devices that are called out in XML but might not always exist; you are probably right that no one has tried doing a hotplug while specifying that a missing device do nothing. I could live with this patch as part of 1.0.5 if it makes it into rc2 so that it gets a few more days of testing.
