-Subject: [PATCH 1/3] rules: whitelist hd* devices
-
-qemu by default emulates IDE and the linux-yocto kernel(s) use
-CONFIG_IDE instead of the more modern libsata, so disks appear as
-/dev/hd*. Patch rejected upstream because CONFIG_IDE is deprecated.

-clients using udev API don't get any updates afterwards and get outdated
-information about the device.

-...
-Include hd* in a match for watch option assignment.
-
-Upstream-Status: Denied
-
-qemu by default emulates IDE and the linux-yocto kernel(s) use
-CONFIG_IDE instead of the more modern libsata, so disks appear as
