+drive unplug
+----------
+
+Unplug a block device.  The result is that guest generated IO is no longer 
+submitted against the host device underlying the disk.  Once a drive has
+been unplugged, the QEMU Block layer returns -EIO which results in IO 
+errors in the guest for applications that are reading/writing to the device
+when it is unplugged.  Unplugged block devices can be safely deleted along with 
+the associated pci devices (if present).
+
+Arguments:
+
+- "id": the device's ID (json-string)
+
+Example:
+
+-> { "execute": "drive_unplug", "arguments": { "id": "drive-virtio-blk1" } }
