Andreas V. Meier, fake:
        udev: cleanups:
         - scripts in /lib/udev like intended
         - static devices in /lib/udev/devices
         - own fixed rules file
         - own fixed scripts
         - install extras
         - adopt rockinitrd and bootdisk for
           lib/udev/devices usage


===================================
+	mkdir -p $root/lib/udev/devices
+	ln -sv /proc/self/fd $root/lib/udev/devices/fd
+	ln -sv /proc/kcore   $root/lib/udev/devices/core
+	ln -sv /proc/self/fd/0 $root/lib/udev/devices/stdin
+	ln -sv /proc/self/fd/1 $root/lib/udev/devices/stdout
+	ln -sv /proc/self/fd/2 $root/lib/udev/devices/stderr
===================================

that's a problem in e.g. stage=9
the files must not exist for the above.

we have some options here:

1.) rm -rf $root/lib/udev/devices before creating it.
-----------------------------------------------------
pro: sane /lib/udev/devices
con: we might wipe out user-created devices in that dir
     (we could offer another dir for such to the user)

2.) `test -e` each link before creating
---------------------------------------
con: user might still cause problems by putting
	 wrong files into that dir

3.) `rm -f` each single node before creating
--------------------------------------------
con: dunno
