With the caveat that I think we should somehow tell the user that "restart" will be expensive, this sounds like a good idea. (Stopping udevd and starting a new instance won't take a long time, but poking all the uevent files and running all the helpers/rules/etc. will.) It should be easy enough to have only "start" and "restart" targets, and have the "restart" target do a "killall udevd" (or whatever), then simply run "$0" start (perhaps after waiting for a second).
