Vdev won't set up eventfs. I'll ship a sysv init script with it that will
mount it automatically (probably shortly after init starts, since
libudev-compat programs will need it relatively early in the boot process).
I was planning on having it mounted on /run/events, in order to make it
available as a generic IPC system for other programs to use for their own
purposes. Eventfs isn't specific to vdev; I'm hoping to use it as a
partial alternative to dbus. I'm open to alternative mount points, though.

Thank you for your generous offer! I think I'm fine for now insofar as
development infrastructure, but one thing that will be particularly tricky
is creating the packaging scripts needed to replace udev automatically, but
without rendering the host unbootable if something goes wrong.
Thanks,
