+	bool "Create a kernel maintained /dev tmpfs (EXPERIMENTAL)"
+	depends on HOTPLUG && SHMEM && TMPFS
+	help
+	  This creates a tmpfs filesystem, and mounts it at bootup
+	  and mounts it at /dev. The kernel driver core creates device
+	  nodes for all registered devices in that filesystem. All device
+	  nodes are owned by root and have the default mode of 0600.
+	  Userspace can add and delete the nodes as needed. This is
+	  intended to simplify bootup, and make it possible to delay
+	  the initial coldplug at bootup done by udev in userspace.
+	  It should also provide a simpler way for rescue systems
+	  to bring up a kernel with dynamic major/minor numbers.
+	  Meaningful symlinks, permissions and device ownership must
+	  still be handled by userspace.
