coldplug scripts

[Marco d'Itri]

http://www.bofh.it/~md/debian/coldplug_0.0.tar.gz

Here I uploaded a preliminary (and TOTALLY UNTESTED) version of my new
coldplugging scripts (and hotplug-related udev rules).

The plan is to generate at boot time a set of synthesized hotplug events
which are as similar as possible as the ones which would be captured in
the initramfs by udeveventrecorder.

The implementation is an init script which will run the
/etc/hotplug/*.rc shell scripts. Each one which will synthesize the
events (I expect there are less than 70 on a typical system) and
dump them to files in /dev/.events/. Then the init script will use
udevinitsend to feed the events to udevd, which will use a few RUN
rules to load the relevant modules or user space scripts.

Even if implemented in shell the scripts appear to be very fast, so I
doubt that this will create performance issues.
