And therefore the idea to wait for the USB scan to complete is (IMHO) 
wrong. Instead we load the usb host drivers and continue our work. As 
soon as a new device is detected (doesn't matter wether the device was 
connected during startup or hotplugged)  /sbin/hotplug can handle that. 
There is no need for kudzu to look at usb devices at all...

Regards,
  Florian
