In this thread there was no explicit mention of the shm filesystem,
mounted at /dev/shm.  If possible I would like to see this mounted
early too.

All these rcS.d scripts (including those listed below) mount-and-
unmount procfs:

    S01devfsd
    S05initrd-tools.sh
    S05keymap.sh
    S10checkroot.sh

Those that run after the new kernel filesystem mount script should
be updated to reflect the new way of doing things.
