[skip sysfs explanation]

We don't really have the need for sysfs, since most information in 2.6's
/sys is already in the sysctl space visible. What is needed for plugging
is some generic event notification. Without having coded anything, it
should be possible to do most of this in device_probe / device_attach for all
devices and perhaps in if_attach specially for network devices.
