Yes, I think that's an interesting problem - although the test might still be worth it just to see how many issues it finds; I'm curious how many devices actually work with no parameters though, most seem to fail. If I'm reading the code right it's creating the device with the same name as the device; I wonder if that always works? But still, it should mean that if the previous hotplug hasn't really happened then you can move onto the next add. > We could improve device_add to cold plug before the machine starts, > i.e. between start with -S and the first cont.
