Bug#723613: udev in jessie requires a kernel with CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y

[Michael Biebl <biebl@debian.org>]

Package: release-notes
Severity: normal
Tags: jessie

udev 176 and newer requires a kernel with devtmpfs support since it no
longer creates any device nodes itself [1].
The Debian provided kernels in wheezy and jessie do have CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y
already, so are not affected by this change. Users with self-compiled
kernels should check their kernel configuration and update if needed.

We should add a section about this new kernel requirement to the jessie
release notes.
