Several things questionable here:
1. depending on guest activity you can get as many
   DEVICE_ON events as you like
2. it's just for shpc and native pcie - things are
   confusing enough for management, we should make sure
   it can work for all devices
3. what about non hotpluggable devices? do we want the event for them?


I feel this needs actual motivation so we can judge what's the
right way to do it.
