I meant that you try SuSE kernel source recompiled with gentoo kernel configuration, with CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y and CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y. Just leave SuSE kernel binary as it is, and SuSE will continue to boot just fine. Since you mentioned that you are willing to experiment, can you also try with some mainline kernel without new O(1) scheduler? I see bad interactivity with O(1) scheduler without any crypto.
