I haven't looked through your patchset yet, but here is the bad part
about udev:

In the past, udev needed to run before the modules listed in MODULES=
from mkinitcpio.conf were loaded. Otherwise, firmware loading would
fail, and almost everyone with MODULES="radeon" would be very unhappy! I
know that some things have changed regarding firmware loading since
then, but this is likely still an issue in some form - and even if it
isn't, it is a good idea to have a firmware helper present before doing
anything.
