Thanks Greg, that's what I figured. Although the hotplug subsystem could create the device nodes and then have kmod load the actual drivers on open, I'm not convinced it's worth it for dynamic devices.
It's been argued that kmod should place a request with the hotplug subsystem, rather than call modprobe, but that's a little too radical for me just yet.
