Honestly, I tried to give a NACK to this patch, not because of coding
issues, but because I find it quite convoluted what you're doing here.

qemuCheckHostdevPlugged() is calling qemuDomainAttachHostDevice()
if the USB device is found. Problem is that you're calling this check 
function
it right after qemuDomainRemoveDevice(), inside a function that is supposed
to handle delete events. The result is a flow like this:

- inside processDeviceDeletedEvent:

     virDomainDefFindDevice(vm->def, devAlias, &dev, true)

     qemuDomainRemoveDevice(driver, vm, &dev)

     qemuCheckHostdevPlugged(driver, vm, devAlias);

- inside qemuCheckHostdevPlugged:

   virDomainDefFindDevice(vm->def, devAlias, &dev, false) <---- same 
find you just did

( .... other code that verifies if the USB device exists in the host ...)

   qemuDomainAttachHostDevice(driver, vm, hostdev)


So in short, you are executing a find(), then a remove(), then the same
find() again, some code to assert that the USB is plugged in the host,
then attach().

Problem is that I didn't come up with a cleaner solution for the problem 
you're
solving here, at least considering the changes from the previous patches
and the current code base. That said:
