Description of problem:

If we move to the 2.6.16 kernel, the following changes will be critical
for /proc (copied from LWN):

The hotplug helper /sbin/hotplug is now officially deprecated. The control file
/proc/sys/kernel/hotplug has moved to /sys/kernel/uevent_helper, but it is
expected to be disabled on most systems in favor of udev and the netlink interface.
