The hotplug event points to the sysfs location of the kobject, that's all. libsysfs then takes that kobject location and sucks up all of the attribute information for that kobject, which udev then uses to determine what it should do.
Unless we want to pass all attribute information through hotplug, which we do not.
Do you have any suggestions?
