What consumes these events?  Has this been proposed to any VM
management tools like libvirt?  What sort of ACPI events are we
expecting to see here and what does userspace do with them?

Who listens to this?  Should there be an in-band means to provide
notifies related to the device?  How does a userspace driver know to
look for netlink events for a particular device?

This would be a log message generated for 99.99% of devices.

vfio-pci supports non-ACPI platforms, I don't see any !CONFIG_ACPI
prototypes for this function.  Thanks,
