Speedup's okay (even though I don't expect anything significant), but if
something goes wrong with udev, we start into a sort of crippled state where
you're still able to start machines, but only if these don't make use of NPIV
in a sense that a vHBA would need to be created, or managed direct-assigned PCI
devices. Prior to this change if enumeration failed, the daemon terminated - I
think this is an improvement.
