That's DSME, part of Maemo userland. You can possibly write a LD_PRELOAD
workaround if you want to run it anyway...

Gentoo. I modified my initfs to chainload its init if a new kernel is running.

Unfortunately, I have come to the realisation that moving forward with the
Linux port to N8x0 would take me more time than simply spending the same time
doing paid work and buying a N900* or Pandora instead. So short some other
reimbursement for porting Linux to N8x0 (like maybe a promise of BME sources
or a N900 after the rest is done to finish the job), I'm probably not going to
spend any more time on it. :(

* N900 is supposedly mostly mainlined already, and supposedly Nokia will
actually finish the job with unlike N8x0; it also has nicer hardware, even if
you just ignore the cellular capabilities
