There's too many variables, though -- firstly, /usr/src/linux/.config
may not match /proc/config.gz.  And even if both are checked there's
nothing to say that the next boot is going to use a kernel that
matches either one.

Realistically, what udev needs is something at runtime to report the
error and temporarily bypass the requirement, because this really is a
runtime issue instead of something that can be properly controlled or
contained at build/install time.
