Patch-From: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@access.unizh.ch>
- Move the description of the environment variables to a new section
called "ENVIRONMENT" (as stated in man(7))
- Pointer to the "official" udev homepage
- Fixes for various typos and whitespace damages

/sbin/udevstart segfaults on an ATIIXP chipset which is not supported
well by the kernel yet. There, /proc/ide/hda/media can not be read
(EIO error) and udevstart seems to give a null-pointer to an SELinux
function checking the media-type.
A hour wrap during the test run does not work :) Just remove
all the useless date conversions as we are only interested in the
seconds it takes to process.

udevd doesn't act properly.

I've found a /dev/video4linux node and just realized, that libsysfs
searches all subdirs for an attribute name.
So it found /class/video4linux/video0/dev for the videodev class
creation event /class/video4linux and created a node.
Just ignore the SUBSYSTEM="class" events now.
Currently udevd delays only events for the same DEVPATH.
Example of an "add" event sequence:
/block/sda
/block/sda/sda1
With this change, we make sure, that the udev process handling
/block/sda has finished its work (waited for all attributes,
created the node) before we fork the udev event for /block/sda/sda1.
This way the event for sda1 can be sure, that the node for the
main device is already created (may be useful for disk labels).
It will not affect any parallel device handling, only the sequence
of the devices directory chain is serialized. The 10.000 disks
plugged in will still run as parallel events. :)
The main motivation to do this is the program execution of the
dev.d/ and hotplug.d/ directory. If we don't wait for the parent
event to exit, we can't be sure that the executed scripts are
run in the right order.

While crawling through the udev manpage I noticed some typos and other
grammatical errors. English is not my native language, so I'm not sure
if I fixed everything right. I would be glad if any English-speaking
person could check this patch before applying.
