udev in kernel source?

Hi!

Would that qualify as a reason to put it there and have make-kpkg / make 
deb / make rpm spit out a udev package as well?

shambhala:/var/log> grep -i deprecated syslog | grep udev
Oct 25 09:41:22 shambhala udevd[21078]: udev: missing sysfs features; 
please update the kernel or disable the kernel's CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED 
option; udev may fail to work correctly                                                            
Oct 25 09:41:37 shambhala kernel: <3>udev: missing sysfs features; please 
update the kernel or disable the kernel's CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED option; 
udev may fail to work correctly
Oct 25 13:35:10 shambhala kernel: <3>udev: missing sysfs features; please

udev may fail to work correctly

It seems that nothing critical is not working, but I only found this by 
closely watching the boot process at all.

Granted, for a long time I did not see any udev/kernel version mismatch or 
configuration option mismatch issues, but back in udev early days I were 
hit several times by those annoyances.

Ironically I was about to disable CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED when it was 
introduced, but then HAL didn't work.

There should be an easy way to figure out whether kernel and deeply related 
userspace tools are matching each other.

Ciao,
