HAL 0.5 depends on udev to manage the hotplug events. You need to
set /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug to /sbin/udevsend. That way every
hotplug-forked helper will have the name of the device-node in the
environment.
HAL uses only one hotplug-helper now and no dev.d/ helper like the 0.4
version did. This saved us from reordering hotplug-events, serialize
them, wait for syfsfs to show up and match hotplug with dev.d/ events.
