Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v8 0/3] DEVICE_DELETED event

libvirt has a long-standing bug: when removing the device,
it can request removal but does not know when the
removal completes. Add an event so we can fix this in a robust way.
First patch only adds the event with ID, second patch adds a path field.
Split this way for ease of backport (stable downstreams without QOM
would want to only take the first patch).
Event without fields is still useful as management can use it to
poll device list to figure out which device was removed.

If there are no more comments I'll stick this on my
pci branch.
Of course, libvirt still has to still add a patch to start using this
event, but I think we have reached a good design, including
consideration for distros doing partial backports, which will minimize
the surprises for libvirt.
