In general, do any of the devices in the OpenFirmware tree generate
linux hotplug events?  When something happens to the tree, does
/sbin/hotplug get called?

Greg, I think a large portion of the problem lies in the current way
that the device tree is exported to userspace.  Take one look at
/proc/device-tree, and I think you'll see what I mean.
