Another solution might be to dynamically attach to udev events. This is how
in-kernel async device discovery is handled and correctly done, this is
without race conditions:
* register a function/program for new devices of your choice
* load the proper module
* your previously registers function will be run
Don't know if this is already possible with udev alone. The current scheme to
install files to run rules is too static than what many programs might need.
The registration could be something like dbus or the like.
The world is not synchronous and predictable. A fake synchronous "thing" in
the kernel would only be a work-around, too.
