Then what the sam hell has all this crap been for!?!?  We've been saying 
all along "Add the device from hotplug instead of kernel module", and now 
you tell us that it's already happening from hotplug's context?  If it's 
already happening from hotplug's context, then why not just do the 
fprintf(); that I put in one of my emails and be done with it?  And what 
about the scenario I asked about in my last email regarding a second disc 
and the situation where no module needs loaded?  How is that handled?
