I probably will re-add udev-mount. It's certainly plausible it only
failed because of the lack of CONFIG_DEVTMPFS, and having
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT enabled fixed basic pty and shm functionality
for me.

It's also worth noting that whether or not you use an initramfs (I
don't on this machine) can make a difference.
