From: David Brownell This teaches scsi devices how to support "new style" hotplug/coldplug: using a modalias sysfs attribute for coldplug, and MODALIAS environment variable for hotplug. It also updates the CH, SD, SR, and ST drivers with the aliases needed to drive them by that mechanism. (Older OnStream devices use OSST not ST; left for someone else to sort out. SG seems best loaded by KMOD.) Using this, I've seen pure new-style hotplugging drive the loading of all the relevant driver modules for usb storage devices: host controller, usb-storage, scsi core, sd_mod. Previously, sd_mod never loaded. (Except when using the obsolete old-style hotplug scripts ... which are unusable on ~100 BogoMIPS embedded systems that only run busybox, but may have no options for lots of external storage other than USB.) Yep, this is a LOT faster too.
