The obvious one. It's a race for the same reason usbd
was racy.
The hotplug invocation is not serialised for starters.
There are other problems as well.
It's a very useful hack for a PC, but it's not a generic
solution for a multiuser system.
Besides, it's not new. The same was done with devfsd
a long time ago, if that subsystem may be mentioned
here.
Regards
Oliver
