Thanks. Does this work for e1000 as well?
Haven't tried. I don't know how various e1000 drivers would react.
Also, does it support pci hotplug?
No, but that's fixable down the road.

Can you send me pointers to the qdev documentation? How can I use it? Will
it allow us to scale above the 32 PCI limit?
It's all below. You just have to create a PCI device and mark the
multifunction flag to on and then assign it a PCI address that includes
a function number. Then you can pack 8 virtio PCI devices into a single
slot.

Break the 29/30/31 virtio-blk limit ... please!
It was broken ages ago:

This is what makes qdev so useful.
