rc.sysinit creating device nodes

echo mkdmnod | /sbin/nash

rc.sysinit runs the above command to create /dev/mapper/control.  Now that we 
have udev managing /dev we have no need to have nash do that.

Is it time to remove that line from rc.sysinit?  I ask because it requires 
undesirable access to be granted in the SE Linux policy.


Also in rc.sysinit we have "echo raidautorun /dev/md0 | nash", but in that 
case /dev/md0 does not already exist.  Can we change things such that udev 
creates /dev/md0?
