I did not encounter any drawbacks with udev yet, moreover the inirtd
could be use for another "kirkwood" device (which one?). I think you
are right, mdev should be efficient enough here.

Please, let me know if you are using specific mount options for your
MMC partitions. For instance, I use an ext2 FS with the options
"noatime" and "async" to reduce as much as possible write cycles.
