I think it's OK to support this case. People using kernels older than
2.6.32 are stuck with static /dev and may have to load firmwares.

Now, I'm wondering if we should simply make the "mdev" /dev management
option work with both static /dev *and* devtmpfs, or if we should have
something like "mdev with static /dev" and "mdev with devtmpfs".

Do you have some proposals?
