No trace of uevent_helper or hotplug in /lib/udev/rules.d/
From http://lwn.net/Articles/166954/ The hotplug helper /sbin/hotplug is now officially deprecated. The control file /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug has moved to /sys/kernel/uevent_helper, but it is expected to be disabled on most systems in favor of udev and the netlink interface.
So this is an old legagy. We should drop it.
I agree with both these patches in principle. I'll just wait a bit before pushing them out to let others give their opinion. -t
