Description: Maintain a devtmpfs filesystem to mount at /dev

More info: This creates a tmpfs/ramfs filesystem instance early at bootup. In this filesystem, the kernel driver core maintains device nodes with their default names and permissions for all registered devices with an assigned major/minor number. Userspace can modify the filesystem content as needed, add symlinks, and apply needed permissions. It provides a fully functional /dev directory, where usually udev runs on top, managing permissions and adding meaningful symlinks. In very limited environments, it may provide a sufficient functional /dev without any further help. It also allows simple rescue systems, and reliably handles dynamic major/minor numbers. Notice: if CONFIG_TMPFS isn't enabled, the simpler ramfs file system will be used instead.
