Yes, I can try.
There was no way to tell not to do anything so I created one. Errors
are signalled via negative return values, so I thought that a positive,
non-zero one could mean to ignore the device. I don't like it but
perhaps you have a better solution.

instead of just removing the whole /udev directory.

I integrated udev with Fedora Core. The main piece is simply building
/udev on boot, since we don't have an initramfs yet. We should also
clear out /udev on shutdown, for /udev directories mounted on persistent
media.
The attached script goes in /etc/init.d
Then do "chkconfig --add udev"
And the rest is handled automatically. I made it for Fedora but it will
probably work, with little change, on any Linux system.
Right now it only does sysfs-based discovery of block and tty devices,
since those are the only types of devices I have on my system. There is
a TODO in the script where we would add the other device types.
