Here is a patch that narrows the scope of minibuffer-auto-raise to
write/revert actions that require user intervention.

Short of a more selective auto-raise mechanism, I believe this is
preferable to raising and focusing a frame when creating a new one
just because of random uninteresting messages.

Moreover, if the user has explicitly set minibuffer-auto-raise, the
scope won't be narrowed at all. So I think it's safe to reduce its
scope a bit when the user has not even signalled interest by toggling
minibuffer-auto-raise to t.
