A VirtIO block device (and a parent VirtIO PCI device) is what is likely
getting created here, so there is no SCSI bus to rescan.

I had a prior private conversation with Robert last week. This particular 
use case will not work until PCI hotplug support is there - this is not
a limitation of VirtIO (fundamentally or as implemented in FreeBSD).

Workarounds include use VirtIO SCSI since it supports hot plug. In FreeBSD
10, VirtIO block supports the resize events from the hypervisor, but the
GEOM support for this was not MFC'ed to 9.
