Or, alternatively, by remounting root RW.  If kernfs is in the kernel
and there's a directory that already exists under /, this is fairly
easy; otherwise, it's a good deal harder (probably hard enough that
it's not worth bothering with - there has to be a point beyond which we
say "it's not worth trying to have init automatically patch up a system
this far from `normal'").

I'd also hope this code would be easy to compile out, in any case.
