Ok, udevsend is the default hotplug event handler in Gentoo..
apparently /sbin/hotplug used to be, but has been deprecated

">From udev-047, udevd is capable of handling hotplug events from
modules, as well as devices, and knows to call the appropriate hotplug
rc script related to the module. (at module load, a hotplug event is
generated by the kernel, and calls whatever is defined as the hotplug
handler)."

I just tried echo /sbin/hotplug > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug and it
works! Woohoo! I can now mount the virtual device. So... there is
something wrong with either xen or udevsend that should be fixed. I
have no experience with hotplug, but if someone can point me in the
right direction I'll try to debug.
