A lot of devices aren't represented via major/minor numbers

It looks to be the rigth thing to trigger them as well.

Anyway, it's up to the hotplug daemon to decide what to do with devices,
it needs full vision of what's present in the system.

Hi,
sorry for the late reply. i just ran this patch on a router and it slows boot down by ~1sec due to having to process a huge pile of extra events.

are you trying to grab events for a specific device type ? maybe we can narrow this down a bit more and not process all events during coldplug.
