The monitor command 'eject' already caused a lot of confusion, please
don't make the same mistake in this event name. Even though I know more
or less what eject can mean in qemu, I'm not sure what "eject" means for
you in the context of this event.

The 'eject' monitor command means that the image is closed and the
BlockDriverState doesn't point to any image file any more. And then
there's bdrv_eject(), which is what the guest can do, and it's about the
virtual tray status.

Having a single event for both doesn't make sense because they are
fundamentally different. Something like BLOCKDEV_CLOSE would be the
right name for the 'eject' monitor command and maybe something like
BLOCKDEV_TRAY_STATUS for the other one.
