The full path to the device is part of the environment of the event. 
Can't you simply parse this?

I'm already getting complaints in the other direction (too many SCSI
hotplug events) from the large system people.  I'm really loth to
introduce more simply as a convenience for a user space daemon.

Really, I think there should only be hot plug events from real entities
(which, more often than not are only the leaf nodes of the sysfs trees).
