[PATCH] let /sbin/hotplug execute udev earlier

We ran into problems with all the /etc/hotplug.d/ scripts that sleep for
the sysfs files or for other reasons. Anyway, it takes much too much time
before udev is executed.
HAL has its own notifier in /etc/hotplug.d/ and also waits for the
dev.d/events with the same SEQNUM. Sometimes it take 25 seconds between
these two events, cause the other scripts are sleeping too much :)

Attached is a patch that installs the udevsend symlink as
10-udev.hotplug instead of udev.hotplug, to be executed earlier.

    |-- 20-hal.hotplug -> /usr/libexec/hal.hotplug
