There is only one question to figure out:  Should it happen at
the bottom or the top of GEOM ?

At the bottom, your CF card would result in a single event on
/dev/ad4, at the top you'd likely get two events, one for
/dev/ad4 and one for /dev/ad4s1 (or whatever other gadgets
geom autodiscovers).

Apart from that, it's just a matter of telling me how to send
the event...
