I've attached a patch for /run/udev checks.

While this patch does not address the concern that mdadm should not
be checking for udev, it does correct the checks for /dev/.udev in
two source files.  It checks for both /run/udev and /dev/.udev so
it's backward compatible.  The /dev/.udev check can be dropped
post-wheezy.  Please forward upstream if such a change has not
already been merged.


Regards,
Roger
