// Package devmgr is the userspace pendant to the kernel device management
// system. It talks to the kernel and the performs any further userspace actions
// related to device events. It corresponds very roughly to systemd-udevd on
// more conventional Linux distros. It currently only handles dynamic module
// loading, but will be extended to provide better device handling in other
// parts of the system.
