Re: [patch] pipe: Don't oops when pipe filesystem isn't mounted

A heck of a lot of things can trigger an /sbin/hotplug run.  It could well
be that Andrew's driver didn't want to run hotplug at all, but the kernel
did it anwyay.  But as soon as the script appeared at /sbin/hotplug, and it
happened to use foo|bar: boom.

In fact, <many> things run /sbin/hotplug but don't necessarily need to :/

I think bcrl used a counter one time, and saw over 1000 /sbin/hotplug executions during a single boot.
