I'm not sure we know yet whether Linus is looking for that. And
there really aren't many "generic" pieces; call_usermodehelper()
is about all, but linux-hotplug can't own "kmod.c" (I'd suspect).
The issue I see is the need to make sure the coordination gets
done -- like updating modutils before integrating an ABI change.
And that seems like a pretty broad Linux development issue.

Or maybe a break from it? :-) Thanks! I'd like to hear from
Linus on this topic before I say more.
