The unplug protocol includes
        4. The drivers write a four-byte build number to IO port `0x10`.
Can't you use that instead of defining a new product for each version of
your drivers?

How does this interact with the use of the alternative platform device
thing which you added? Does docs/misc/hvm-emulated-unplug.markdown need
expanding to cover that case?

I notice that docs/misc/hvm-emulated-unplug.markdown also says:
        3. The drivers write a two-byte product number to IO port `0x12`.  At
           the moment, the only drivers using this protocol are our
           closed-source ones, which use product number 1.
which isn't accurate any longer...
