Yes.

Yep, using udev 146, passing the configure check.

I shall add that to the already long list.

Er, yes, doing this works, because they are change events. The point is
that when module-udev-detect starts, it use the udev_enumerate interface
to get udev devices, and this is not a monitor interface. Therefore,
there is NO action associated with the device, so nothing gets triggered
in process_device(). I think.
