Hm?

Let me explain what I am concluding:

Whether or not return -EIO is used for the hid_dummy on my FC10 box I
get huge delay during bootup when starting udev. It sits there and
says:

Starting udev:

If hid-dummy return -EIO then immediately afterwards I see the error
for inserting it with the EIO error explained:

FATAL: Error inserting hid_dummy
(/lib/modules/2.6.29-rc7-wl/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-dummy.ko):
Input/output error
