Highlight: load modules for devices that are discovered by your kernel before init runs. Meaning, coldplug is for loading modules for devices that are attached before init was started. Hotplug still exists and is used for automatically loading modules for devices that are attached after the system is up. I think what that ebuild says comes from the fact that hotplug and coldplug used to be provided by the same package in the past. Now, we have two separate packages.
