In FreeBSD exists similar utility like udev, the so called devd. In
github is there a project, which would improve the compatibility or
completely change the udev like brain-damage.
https://github.com/freebsd/libdevq
Other problem with udev is, that moving so fast, and every time
changed their API, and udev's future are not clear, possibly merged
with systemd.
