Actually, it'll break mdev in busybox. We were traversing the block and
class directory hierarchies to find dev nodes, but were avoiding
traversing symlinks because following device and bridge can lead to
endless loops.

Now we apparently have to know _which_ symlinks to follow, which sucks
deeply.
