hotplug seems not to be a replacement for hwdetect.

Yes the hwdetect code is in linuxrc, but as I said it could be convenient to 
run hwdetect and load modules *without reboot*.

Another issue iI found is we are  creation, deletion, link and unlink 
/lib/modules/$KVER add various places, which ends up in a link to itself

# ls -al /lib/modules/
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            12 Mar 27 18:18 4.4.6-x86_64 -> 
/lib/modules

Is there any reason why we just don't let /lib/modules/$KVER stay after 
linuxrc ran and avoid to link/unlink/create/delete?
