Yes, there are cases like this where that might make sense. However there's no real way for udev itself to solve those cases. You will have to rely on some other method to do this (script to load module, making the /dev node yourself, script to make dev node and then access it which causes kmod to load the module, etc.) thanks, greg k-h
