Hi,

What's your opinion on attached (untested) patch? If there's some
consensus that this is a step in the right direction I'll create a
working & tested patch to commit.

Nota bene: I'm not going to discuss the merits of udev caching, only the
impact of this patch to the current situation.

regards,

Koen
