- This option enables the kernel userspace event layer, which is a

- The goal of the kernel userspace events layer is to provide a simple
- and efficient events system, that notifies userspace about kobject
- state changes. This will enable applications to just listen for
- events instead of polling system devices and files.
- Hotplug events (kobject addition and removal) are also available on

- CONFIG_HOTPLUG is enabled.

Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
