Yes, it must be 100% separate from the hal daemon and it will use D-BUS
interface (e.g. libhal) to communicate with the hal daemon. If the addon
needs to do privileged stuff, my thinking is just to make it only
executable
by the haldaemon user and make setuid.

The functions hal_device_store_match_* from hald/device_store.h should
do the trick.
