Hello all,

I re-tested the multifunction hotplug of winxp,rhel6,win7 guest. 
(upstream qemu-kvm)

For all the guests, func0 needs to be added, otherwise no func can be 
found in guest.
RHEL6 needs to add fun0 in the end, otherwise, the funcs added after 
hot-adding func0 could not be found in guest.
For winxp,win7, add func0 in any time, all the funcs can be found in guest.

This is the test result( hogplug order of funcs & funcs can be found in 
guest):
hotplug order   xp      win7    rhel6
------------    --      ----    -----
func 0~7        0~7     0~7     0~7
func 0~5        0~6     0~6     0~6
func 1~4,0,5    0~5     0~5     0~4
func 1~4        no      no      no

It looks like the 'problem' of linux guest, or could we accept to add 
func0 after adding other funcs for linux guest?

Thanks,
Amos
