I don't think, that we want to do this in udevstart, at least at it's
current state. It will break to many setups, cause all the distros have
their own way to handle the coldplug case.

Everything in udevstart is serialized, which may not be optimal for all
the things to do during a coldplug session, cause every sleeping script
will delay the whole process.

In general I like the idea and we should experiment what the best solution
would be: event-replay, coldplug-binary, udevstart + coldplug, synthesizing
events and pass them to udevd for parallel execution...
But this should happen in a separate binary, so we don't break too many
things at once. :)

Thanks,
Kay
