How about something like this. It adds all the net devices without
looking at the attributes and keeps the remaining logic like it is.

It also removes certain levels of indirection and much simplifies the
udevstart process. We surely don't need to open and close the udevdb
for every node while iterating over the list. (We are about 5% faster on
my box)

It's not well tested, so it would be nice if someone can have a look
at it, before a broken udevstart renders any system unbootable.
