Just to be clear, most of these date around 10 years from OpenZaurus and
similar times. We now automount media and there is no real need for
these specific directories or the ramfs. If there is some need in legacy
systems (I did wonder about opie), I'd suggest they get created by them
rather than the core base-files.
