Probably the kernel - it sets /sbin/hotplug by default. In Fedora we
change that to /sbin/udevsend in rc.sysinit very early in the boot
process. I think some distros even turns it off by now and just relies
udevd catching kevents on the netlink socket (which is much much
efficient than forking a user space process for each and every hotplug
event).

Cheers,
David
