Traditionally the master uevent monitor was bound to a main thread. However with most of the D-Bus object machinery, interface updates, etc. being done in the same thread, lost uevents were spotted on resource-constrained systems. Better to dedicate a new thread for incoming uevents that are sent to a probing thread right away, effectively acting as a storage queue.
