Hmm.  Perhaps it would be better to serialize all events associated with a 
particular device in a particular process or thread, so that events from ed0 
and ed1 can run concurrently, but not two events for ed0?  I realize that's 
quite a bit more complicated than slapping '&' in there, but it might provide 
some useful consistency from the perspective of people writing scripts to 
start and stop file systems, etc, on removable storage (for example).
