Hi,

It seems there are some problems in usb coldplugging.

1) after usb core modules loaded, it needs some time to propagate
  information to /proc or /sys. So, I think we need some wait before
  calling usb_boot_events.
  But I'm not sure it is sufficient to sleep 1 sec. are there any 
  better way to wait some files in /proc or /sys ?

2) if /sys/bus/usb/devices found, it updates DEVPATH and PRODUCT, but
   it never call /etc/hotplug/usb.agent, so no coldplugging happens.

Is this patch ok to commit?
