This patch does that. I've obxerved one or two installation that had sufficiently large sans that they overran the 4k limit on /proc/devices.

[PATCH] driver core: replace "hotplug" by "uevent" 2006-01-05T00:18:08+00:00 Kay Sievers kay.sievers@suse.de 2005-11-16T08:00:00+00:00 312c004d36ce6c739512bac83b452f4c20ab1f62 Leave the overloaded "hotplug" word to susbsystems which are handling real devices. The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports the state to userspace and generates events.
