devd. A daemon that hooks into the kernel's /dev/devctl to produce arbitrary commands when devices come and go in the device tree (which is different than the /dev directory). This is an initial version. Much of the planned power isn't here. Instead of doing the full matching, we always run /etc/devd-generic. /etc/devd.generic will go away at some point, I think. I'm committing it in this early state so I can start getting feedback from early adapters. Approved by: re
