Not quite sure what happened there. But this code is completely gone in the new
version.  As is the mass insertion of events at start up.  I've jettisoned all
that in favor of the QMP injection of individual events.

I should be sending out a new version today.  It is based on cxl-2022-11-17.  I
I believe it is much cleaner.  But I'm only supporting general media event
right now.  The others can be added pretty easily but I want to get the
infrastructure settled before working on those.
