We're talking about the very early boot stage, there is no udev nor anything else
and the I've choosen this as this had worked very well in initrd where it had crashed
before. I do not say that there is no other way to do this but this way it works and
the links I've done had been missed.
If in initrd the sulogin will be called after mounting /proc and /dev and running
udev rules or enabling the links in initrd then the code does only check for existence
of /proc and /dev.
