Yeah, I would expect unforeseen problems with the async thread too. It's probably all solvable, but it sounds troublesome to find out if things go wrong.
We have sync hooks (BUS_NOTIFY_*) where any kind of code can subscribe to when devices get added or get bound to a driver. Can't the code that relies on later hookups to already existing devices/bindings not just plug into that?
Thanks, Kay
