DEVICE_DELETED is important because the operation is still underway even
after the initial monitor command returns control to libvirt, because
there is guest interaction involved. But for hotplug, the monitor
command doesn't return until the action is complete, and no guest
interaction is required to know that the action was completed; so I
don't see the use case for an event.
