[RFC] udev processing _all_ symlink rules?

[RFC] udev processing _all_ symlink rules?

[Kevin P. Fleming]

I brought this up a week or two ago, and Kay agreed it might be a good 
change, but I don't want it to get lost.

I'd like to see the rule searching loop in namedev.c continue scanning 
through all remaining rules even after is has found a matching NAME 
rule, so that SYMLINK rules for the same device don't have to be located 
earlier in the list. It appears that this is a simple code change: 
instead of "goto found", just set a flag for future passes through the 
loop to ignore any NAME rules that may be found, then exit the loop when 
all rules have been checked.

If you want I'll make up the small patch... it seems to be a pretty safe 
change IMHO, but I could be missing something.
