acpi is not the only possible way. More recent qemu (not pc-1.1 which you used) also has pcie bus, which does support hotplugging without acpi. But you used both pc-1.1 (old non-pcie machine) and no-acpi. Also, I _think_ hotplug can be disabled by a command-line switch (not sure but think). All ways leads to bus->enable_hotplug property set to false, which is being checked right before printing that error message.
