What is recommended to use in place of udevstart for initial populating?

Actually, I'm not expecting to use udevstart.  Rather, I am expecting to
integrate code from udevstart and/or other parts of udev into my early
userspace init program.  It will start with nothing but rootfs mounted,
and need some /dev entries to find devices to be mounted.  Since /dev
will end up being tmpfs in the end, it seems to make sense to go ahead
and populate it at this point.  There will only be /dev (tmpfs) and /sys
(sysfs) mounted at that point in time ... no /etc ... so this is a big
reason I can't just literally use udevstart as is, anyway.
