At this moment we only provide one event to report a hotunplug error, MEM_UNPLUG_ERROR. As of Linux kernel 5.12 and QEMU 6.0.0, the pseries machine is now able to report unplug errors for other device types, such as CPUs.
Instead of creating a (device_type)_UNPLUG_ERROR for each new device, create a generic DEVICE_UNPLUG_ERROR event that can be used by all unplug errors in the future. This event has a similar API as the existing DEVICE_DELETED event, with an extra optional 'msg' parameter that can be used to explain the reason for the error. With this new generic event, MEM_UNPLUG_ERROR is now marked as deprecated.
