It hit the spot for me, pretty much. Here are my updated versions;
debug stuff removed (for some reason it wedged), added support for
some PCMCIA and MMC special cases, and a bit of doc. So it's worked
for me hotplugging USB, PCMCIA [1], and MMC ... though I've not yet
tried hooking in code to mount those removable flash cards.
The PCMCIA hotplug is using the patches, now sitting in the MM tree,
that will likely be merged early in 2.6.13 ... if they provided
the "modalias" attribute, then "coldplug" wouldn't even need that
helper program from the new pcmcia utils package [2].
I think we need a stripped down and turnkey hotplug-and-udev setup
starting real soon now, at least for use with embedded hardware,
and these scripts could be a reasonable start.

[1] Though CompactFlash memory cards wouldn't bind properly through
the IDE stack. Seems to be an issue with the new PCMCIA hotplug
stuff, since non-memory CF cards worked fine.
