Not really :(

Everything that contains a kobject in sysfs will generate a hotplug
event in the 2.6 kernel. That's a lot of different things these days.

If you do want to retify this lack of documentation, I would be glad to
add it to the hotplug web site or whereever.

Given that the term "kobject" is a new one to me, I doubt I am equipped
to. But I'll dive in. I'm nothing if not enthusiastic. A pointer to any
info would be appreciated.

TO return to this old chestnut, I ran a grep -r through the 2.6.5 source
tree for kobject_add and kobject_register, and found pitifully few
entries - where else should I search to generate some docs?

Realize that all struct device objects contain a kobject. The creation
and destruction of them cause the majority of hotplug events in the
kernel... Also follow the hotplug_ops and see who uses them...
Good luck,
