So it looks like it'd be a win if "rc.usb boot" did that logic,
without the "coldplug" stuff to handle the system being only
partially booted.  RH-specific logic won't be necessary.

Of course there's still that issue of which HCDs to load;
Olaf's patch says that's what the /etc/sysconfig file holds.
RH currently uses /etc/modules.conf for such stuff ... and
a pure hotplug model would use interact with what PCI says
is actually present.
