I feel a real solution is to detect guest handling the
event such as clearing GPE and allowing resending
the interrupt then.
A similar strategy should be possible with the attention
button.
This patch is more of a band-aid - it is possible that guest
rebooted and so user knows a new device_del is required,
and we arbitrarily reject that. Right?
This is arguably a regression but not in this release yes?
So I don't think it needs to block qemu release.

It's helpful to have CC before --- so backporters know whom to CC, too.
