[ale] udev vs hotplug

[Chris Fowler]

Is hotplug the same as udev?

CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="/sbin/hotplug"

I'm implementing a small device.  I usually start with a kernel.  In
this case 2.6.38.  I then start adding stuff ontop of it or writing
programs to do much of the work.  

I'm at the point where I want to add USB mass storage support.  In 2.4.X
I used /sbin/hotplug and wrote a C program that loaded the necessary
drivers for the specific USB devices I wanted to support.  I'm not sure
what the best method is in 2.6.38 would be.
