I pushed out a fix for this:
  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commitdiff;hk8c150e12dba22e600da918828b9e648c10018e
I hope it compiles now, if inotify is not available. Thanks for the help.

Packages can drop rules to that directory, and just expect it to be
there. The daemon also likes to monitor the directory with inotify to
re-parse the rules if needed, so it should exist, yes.

Thanks,
