We (Debian and SUSE udev) are currently doing "coldplug" with udev,
sysfs and the kernel exported $MODALIAS value instead of the old
hotplug rc-scripts. Sysfs is scanned for all devices and hotplug
events are synthesized, or with kernel 2.6.14+ are just triggered
by a "uevent" file in sysfs. These events look like the same hotplug
event as it happened (but was lost in initramfs) at device creation
time. This approach does a heavy parallel module loading, which
may nobody have ever tried before and seen this "bug" ...

I've got these messages several times on the experimental SUSE too,
but can't reproduce it so far, even without Rusty's patch to modprobe
they have disappeared. See here for the details:
