Re: [gentoo-desktop] Udev rules and kernel device names

[Lindsay Haisley]

I should look at the source code.  This might be a good thing to add to
udevinfo, say a -k option that would iterate through the data structure(s)
searched by udev to match KERNEL keys in a rules file and print them out.

Greg said he's going to address the question on the linux-hotplug-devel
list and we can take it from there.
