Kay Sievers 0f76e5acf9 [PATCH] add uevent_helper control in /sys/kernel/
This deprecates the /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug file, as all
this stuff should be in /sys some day, right? :)
In /sys/kernel/ we have now uevent_seqnum and uevent_helper.
The seqnum is no longer used by udev, as the version for this
kernel depends on netlink which events will never get
out-of-order.

Recent udev versions disable the /sbin/hotplug helper with
an init script, cause it leads to OOM on big boxes by running
hundreds of shells in parallel. It should be done now by:
  echo "" > /sys/kernel/uevent_helper

(Note that "-n" does not work, cause neighter proc nor sysfs
support truncate().)
