I'm taking my rules file from Giacomo Catenazzi, who developed it
originally for a shellscript he wrote. I don't know how he generates
the hardware probes; for all I know, he's got code groveling through
the module device tables.
I've been meaning to ask you about this, Giacomo. Where *did* all
those probes come from?
