Then please do it in userspace, as I suggested before, that way you
catch all types of devices, not just USB ones.

Also I don't think you realize that USB interfaces are what are bound to
drivers, not USB devices, so that is going to mess with any attempted
audit trails here.  How are you going to distinguish between the 5
different devices that just got plugged in that all have 0000/0000 as
vid/pid for them because they are "cheap" devices from China, yet do
totally different things because they are different _types_ of devices?

Again, do this in userspace please, that is where it belongs.
