My thinking was that we should try both methods for resolving the spec
we're given.  However, maybe there's no reason you'd ever get a glob
that's also a valid disk name so I don't need to do this.

Agreed.  I wonder if we can get away with doing this only once early on.
Alternatively, we could do some sort of caching thing like so:

_triggerCache = {}
def udev_trigger(subsystem=None, action="add"):
   global _triggerCache
   if _triggerCache.has_key(subsystem):
      return

   ...
   iutil.execWithRedirect(...)
   _triggerCache.setdefault(subsystem)

However, this is entirely too much like the old driveDict out of isys
that we always had so many problems with.  I don't really like it.
