Why does /run should not be noexec?

Yes, if /run exists in the initramfs then it needs to be moved to the
root filesystem.

No, but if the database is not copied to the initramfs then LVM will be
annoyed.

The udev initscript cannot know if there was a /run/udev in the
initramfs and it was lost.
Right now I can't see how to work around this.
If there is no /run in the initramfs then /dev/.udev/ will be used, and
since udev 167-3 the udev init script will move it to /run/udev/ (as
long as /run is a mount point, check the init script).
