You'll have to add code to classdev.c, so you're right - there's no 
driver/class plugin system in this sense.

Callouts/addons serve a different purpose, and they serve it very well 
(e.g. increasing daemon's stability and performance by ridding it of 
potentially dangerous or time-consuming tasks).
