I feel that Documentation/early-userspace could use a review.
While the material there is certainly interesting, it doesn't seem
sufficient for a reasonably savvy, yet still aspiring, kernel
developer to craft a bootable kernel.

In particular, getting udev integrated into an initramfs seems
under-documented.

Understood, TMTOWTDI, and it's a distro issue, and it's userspace, not
kernel, etc.

Nevertheless, a vanilla example with the minimal guts to support a
boot would be an improvement.

OTOH, masochistic twit that I am, I'm rather enjoying the gum-shoe
aspects of figuring out WTF to get 'er done.

Thanks,
Chris
