Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 6 of 9 v2] libxl: execute hotplug scripts directly from libxl

[Ian Campbell <Ian.Campbell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I was just looking at this again because someone was talking about
hotplug issues on Linux and something new occurred to me.

Although Linux doesn't do hotplug this way now I think it will/should in
the future and the code will look very much like the netbsd one. So I
think that the code which actually handles calling the script should
probably be a generic function, only the selector on whether to do so
needs to be platform specific.

Ian.
