Replying to [comment:3 bdubbs@…]:
> No, mountvirtfs does not mount /dev. Right now /dev is a part of /
(e.g. a regular fs). That's probably a mistake.
It's a tmpfs somehow or other... :-)
Oh, I see. udev mounts it (and specifies -t tmpfs). That's relatively
easy to change assuming devtmpfs is in the kernel.

The reply seems to be "it's not necessarily ready as a replacement for
module-init-tools, but the library works when you compile udev against
it".
Which means we could install libkmod alongside module-init-tools, at least
until v4, and not use the binary that it creates when making manual
changes to modules. (And in the loadmodules script.)
As for the rest, it only really matters if the NFS tools start to install
into /usr themselves I think. (Given the contents of the UsrMove wiki
page, it seems like this is the intended final result of this change.
Whee.) Unless the intent is to include every binary and config file on
the system into the initramfs, or I'm missing something...
