We need to find it in the db at coldplug time. :) If we are not getting a better idea, I'm planing to add a TAG= feature, which maintains an index database which supports a reverse-lookup. Also for other use-cases, we need a more efficient way to select a set of devices tagged by rules. At this time ACL_MANAGE will go away.
