IMHO the right answer is to take a step back and take some time to
think about the "right" way to support hot-pluggable hardware versus
"flushing things out". I'm not saying that we'll need a whole new
framework, but I'd rather design a proper interface versus "patch"
deficiencies.
Some of the Plan B stuff may be pointers in the right direction since
they deal with file servers coming and going on a regular basis. Its
just in the hot-plug case, the file server which is coming and going
is a physical device.
