The other way around, for me at least. I build my own initramfs, yet I 
don't know anything about mdev, just the fact it's part of busybox. So 
for me, mdev is a black box, while my initramfs definitely isn't.

I agree with that. But why do you need mdev for a static system? A few 
mknods would suffice.
