it's one of possible solutions, but imho any way in userspace is ugly
and/or not very stable.

examples:
 - palm device not listed in kernel visor module (old kernel), but
 coldsync know about this model and get serial number from it to other
 palm
 - hotsync on several palms pressed with very small time difference -
 coldsync can swap serial numbers across devices

it's one way without global changes get information from kernel to
userspace - read kernel log. but it's VERY ugly
