I suppose you mean monitor_get_fd(). That functions seems to only be 
used by net.c so far and if  understand the chain of functions correctly 
that are called with the monitor as parameter it helps in hotplugging 
net devices ? For the TPM I would like to *not* have support for 
hotplugging since that device is supposed to be soldered to the 
motherboard and needs to be initialized through a command sequence by 
the (v)BIOS, so it has to be present early on during machine startup.
