My experiments with hot-attaching virtio disks to eucalyptus VMs have
been partially successful. I've been able to attach/detach a virtio
disk to/from a VM once, but the second attach causes a kvm segfault
followed by a libvirtd segfault. Removing eucalyptus from the scenario,
this problem can be reproduced by passing the attach/detach/attach
commands directly using virsh as follows. Note that, although i'm using
an AOE device as the 'source' in the following example, the same problem
exists if you replace the source dev with a local file.

Am I perhaps passing an incorrectly formatted disk XML for virtio?
