I was hoping to find a SCSI bus implementation (or 
pseudo-implementation) that handled hotplug of *targets* gracefully.  I 
can't seem to find any that don't require collaboration from cfgadm.  
(There are some that hotplug the whole *bus*, e.g. scsa2usb and 
scsa1394, but not individual targets.)

In other words, imagine I have a "pseudo-bus", that can detect when 
targets (emulated disks, in this case) arrive or depart.  It would be 
nice to have "sd" come up automatically, and also get a notice when the 
device has departed, without having to rip out the underlying "bus".  
Any thoughts on where I can look for examples?

As far as I can tell, USB seems to be the only bus that "autosenses" 
hotplug events and auto-attaches devices without administrative action 
(maybe also 1394, but I'm not sure).  Perhaps this is done in 
collaboration with sysevent or other userland code?
