I believe is udevsynthesize, but it's difficult to get it except in an
old post in this list.

Personally i've found out that a 'find' command combined with
'echo "add" > uevent' and a recent kernel does a very good work ;).
If you only are interested in block devices it'd be enough to run
the find in /sys/block
