I do not understand that from the spec:
6.7 Unregistering an event says

With the PENDING status, the unregister request will be queued until the
event is completed using SDEI_EVENT_COMPLETE .

Also there is state called "Handler-unregister-pending"

But well I would need to dig further into the spec again :)

I don't get why you can't increment/decrement the ref count each time
the event is registered/unregistered by a given vcpu to manage its life
cycle? Does not mean you don't need the bitmap to know the actual mapping.
