It seems that there are two major use cases that make mounting the root

The first is when your root filesystem does not reside on a block
device, as in the nfsroot case. In this case, there is no backing
device for the filesystem for udev to detect, so we would still need a
non-udev method of mounting the root filesystem in order to handle any
case where there is no backing device for the root filesystem.
Hmm. There is no strict _need_ for a backing device for udev to work
properly, we just need an event here.
So for the nfsroot case it would be totally sufficient to have an event
like 'network is up'. This could then trigger a nfsmount
Hmmm... I haven't thought about that. Is it possible to send events to
udev from Userspace?
