Hi Peter

Currently I think that all this problems are related to missing or
broken pvscan --cache calls.

I found one problematic case regarding coldplug; I believe Redhat does
not longer use this code path.  In none of my tests the "artificial" add
event triggers pvscan as it should.  The udev rules test for
LVM_MD_PV_ACTIVATED, which is never set in this case.  My quick fix is
to ignore if the event is actually change.
