I think that would be a bit overzealous, personally. Not really my place
to muck with udev. Certainly could include it and recommend
installation. udevtrigger can do unexpected things. E.g. I just ran
udevtrigger on a system with 7 down interfaces and it brought them all
up with dhclient.
The safer course is simply to create the device node if it's not
present. This is what dellmgr used to do with older PERCs.
Maybe in a secondary RPM it would be okay, with appropriate caution.
