  Yes, libudev is definitely the harder part. Handling hotplug
events via netlink is easy, and has been done several times over
already; but libudev introduces policy in software, and most of
the work is providing a compatible interface.

  I have my eyes set on libudev-compat from vdev:
  https://github.com/jcnelson/vdev

  but I don't know how much of a drop-in it is, or how production-
ready it is. I'll be asking people around who have experience with it.
