Ok, as we had to discover during some testing, it's a bad idea to only wait
for ' ' after the 'dmesg -c' since it matches too early, so that the device
gets added while the dmesg command is still running.

The following code is working for me instead:

         # add another device
         exec_command_and_wait_for_pattern(self,
                     'dmesg -c > /dev/null; echo dm-clear\ 1', 'dm-clear 1')
         self.vm.command('device_add', driver='virtio-net-ccw',
                         devno='fe.0.4711', id='net_4711')
         exec_command_and_wait_for_pattern(self,
                         'while ! (dmesg -c | grep CRW) ; do sleep 1 ; done',
                         'CRW reports')
         exec_command_and_wait_for_pattern(self, 'ls /sys/bus/ccw/devices/',
                                           '0.0.4711')
         # and detach it again
         exec_command_and_wait_for_pattern(self,
                     'dmesg -c > /dev/null; echo dm-clear\ 2', 'dm-clear 2')
         self.vm.command('device_del', id='net_4711')
         self.vm.event_wait(name='DEVICE_DELETED',
                            match={'data': {'device': 'net_4711'}})
         exec_command_and_wait_for_pattern(self,
                         'while ! (dmesg -c | grep CRW) ; do sleep 1 ; done',
                         'CRW reports')
         exec_command_and_wait_for_pattern(self,
                                           'ls /sys/bus/ccw/devices/0.0.4711',
                                           'No such file or directory')
