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.

Speaking as the acting QMP maintainer, just to avoid misunderstandings: there's disagreement on the event's design, namely when it should fire, and how it should name the device. I don't want the discussion preempted by a commit.
Yes, you are asking for more functionality, but can I add this in a follow-up commit please? I prefer this patch as is, as it can be backported to stable branches and downstreams. Upstream a follow up patch can add fields and more triggers which won't apply to any downstreams. This patch will help resolve a set of serious long-standing bugs, see e.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=813748 -- MST
