Correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAIK that can only be smoothly used to load
hardware driver modules.
If the input layer userspace interface code has been compiled as modules, and
you have a ordinary (not hotplug) device, eg. a gameport joystick, can really
the hotplug interface be used to load joydev.o when /dev/input/js0 is opened?
I don't use hotplugging that much, so I can't say that I'm sure about what it
can do, but in my perception of the hotplug system, it can't be used for
that.
