I don't seem to understand why is this supposed to change as we
shuffle the things around. The problem is that we currently are
starting udev from /, which is mounted from initramfs. Should
we move, we'd have to mount /usr from initramfs instead.
Now, if we're to keep udev starting /before/ /usr is mounted,
we'd have to start udev from initramfs.
OTOH, if this order isn't to be kept, why not just simply allow
udev to be started after /usr is mounted, while retaining /
vs. /usr distinction we currently use?
