kmod, udev and dead devices nodes

[Michael Biebl]

Hi,

creation of dead device nodes moved out of udev and is now supposed to
be implemented by kmod and tmpfiles.

Under systemd we have /lib/systemd/system/kmod-static-nodes.service
which runs

ExecStartPre=/bin/mkdir -p /run/tmpfiles.d
ExecStart=/bin/kmod static-nodes --format=tmpfiles
--output=/run/tmpfiles.d/kmod.conf

This generates a runtime tmpfile /run/tmpfiles.d/kmod.conf.

Marco wants to keep kmod optional (to not have to install kmod inside
containers), so instead of adding a dependency on kmod, for the .service
file we are going to add a ConditionPathExists=/bin/kmod.


Equivalent functionality needs to be implemented in the udev sysv init
script which Marco volunteered to do.
