AFAIK DEVTMPFS is not a module. You either turn it on or off. Of course,
you'll need a whole-kernel compile, but that's it.

If you use menuconfig, IIRC there's another option right under DEVTMPFS'
one that offers to mount devtmpfs on boot. If you turn that on, you *might*
get away without a /dev in fstab.
