+.B udevd
+allows the serialization of

+events. The events generated by the kernel may arrive in random order
+in userspace, that makes it neccessary to reorder it.
+.br
+.B udevd
+takes care of the kernel supplied sequence number and arranges the events for

+execution of the following events until a timeout of a maximum of 5 seconds
+is reached.
+.br
+For each event a
+.BR udev (8)
+instance is executed in the background. All further events for the same device
+are delayed until the execution is finished. This way it will never run more
+than one instance for a single device.

Oh, what's about the true random device number allocation?
Not really new, but udev fits nice here :)

Or what happened to the parallel device probing thing?

Both of those are things I'm going to do for 2.7.

I guess I can write a paper on something that I haven't implemented yet,
as I did that last year :)

I'll come up with something, I still have a few weeks...

thanks,
