You wasted your time...
Hotplug is obsolete and you will not find it in modern distributions.
Maps are obsolete too, nowadays drivers are loaded using udev and
$MODALIAS.
The first step to correctly fix this is to design an aliases scheme and
then add the aliases to the drivers.
I am not sure if it would be appropriate for the kernel to generate an
uevent for every node of the ACPI namespace tree, if not you would need
to walk it with a script, synthesize the $MODALIAS value and run
modprobe for every node.
Both ways look a bit expensive to me since modprobe would be forked
tens of times.
