This patch causes my Fedora Core 3 x86_64 machine to fail. When
rc.sys_init runs /sbin/start_udev a segmentation fault in start_udev is
reported and no device nodes are created. This is the only one of my test
machines which behaves this way.

Config: http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/config-x.txt
Running udev-039-8.FC3
