Is there any reason why the hotplug multiplexer part of udev should have
different codebase from the tiny hotplug?

Do you mean namedev.c:strcmp_pattern() ?  That should do I think.  Then
it'll probably need udev_utils.c:call_foreach_file() to allow one-level
recursion into the subdirectories and to accept a matcher for their
names as an extra parameter.

Alternatively, one can put a $DEVALIAS multiplexer script in each of the bus
directories in /etc/hotplug.d, so that the main hotplug multiplexer is
unchanged.

Cheers,
  Roman.
