qemu example would be:
{qemu) stop
(qemu) device_add device_add vhost-scsi-pci,wwpn=naa.5001405324af0985,id=vhost01,bus=bridge1,addr=8
(qemu) device_add vhost-scsi-pci,wwpn=naa.5001405324af0986,id=vhost02,bus=bridge1,addr=0
(qemu) cont

this way when machine continues to run acpiphp code will see 2 HBAs at once
and try to process one right after another. So [1/2] patch is not enough
to cover above case, and hence the same hack SHPC employs by adding delay.
However 2 separate hotplug events as in your reproducer should be covered
by the 1st patch.
