Anyway, if you are patching K10udev and whole freeze happens in 
K08cryptdisks and K09cryptdisks-early, then such patch is noop as whole 
freeze happens before patch line is executed. sendsigs does not change 
behaviour of patch.

I think the first thing which needs to be done is to define order 
sendsigs, cryptdisks and udev. Should be udev really stopped after 
cryptdisks? Or not? If not, then udev should be stopped *before* 
sendsigs. Otherwise sendsigs needs to be patched to not kill udev.

But other question is what happens in system when udev is still running 
even after unmounting filesystem and when basically all other remaining 
services were already killed by sendsigs...
