I have just uploaded a preliminary (and totally untested) version of my new
coldplugging scripts (and of the hotplug-related udev rules).

The plan is to generate at boot time a set of synthesized hotplug events which
are as similar as possible as the ones which would be captured in the initramfs
by udeveventrecorder.

The implementation is an init script which will run the /etc/hotplug/*.rc shell
scripts. Each one which will synthesize the events and dump them to files in
/dev/.events/. Then the init script will use udevinitsend to feed the events to
udevd, which will use a few RUN rules to load the relevant modules or user space
scripts, asynchronously.
