Thanks for this.  I think this script should be introduced in the same
patch as the arrangements which call it.

Also both this, and the calling arrangements, should be CC'd to Roger
Pau Monne who has been doing some work on hotplug script arrangements,
so I have CC'd him on this message.

Thanks,
Ian.
