[arch-dev-public] [HEADSUP] Minimum kernel version bump

I suggest the following news item:

*****

Users of unofficial kernels must enable devtmpfs support
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

As of udev-176, we will no longer be able to boot kernels without
devtmpfs support.

The official Arch kernels (`kernel26-lts` and `linux`) have both had
devtmpfs support for a long time, so only people who compile their own
kernels are potentially affected by this change.

More information about the kernel options required by udev is
available in the udev [README](here:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=blob_plain;f=README).

*****

Comments welcome.

Tom
