That functions seems to only be used by net.c so far and if understand the chain of functions correctly that are called with the monitor as parameter it helps in hotplugging net devices ? For the TPM I would like to *not* have support for hotplugging since that device is supposed to be soldered to the motherboard and needs to be initialized through a command sequence by the (v)BIOS, so it has to be present early on during machine startup.
