I've had this in -mm for a couple of weeks now but rmk points out that it's
rather silly.  Because if you have CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y, CONFIG_NET=n then the
kernel cannot deliver hotplug events to userspace..

So perhaps CONFIG_HOTPLUG should depend upon CONFIG_NET or, better,
CONFIG_NETLINK.

Dunno.  I left this in Greg's lap, but he's hiding.
