This should fix a boot error on a Thinkpad P51s:
> mdevd: fatal: unable to receive netlink message: No buffer space available
>From the mdevd documentation:
> • -b kbufsz : try and reserve a kernel buffer of kbufsz bytes for
> the netlink queue. Too large a buffer wastes kernel memory; too
> small a buffer risks losing events. The default is 500 kB, which
> should be enough for most systems; if you're getting "No buffer
> space available" errors from mdevd at coldplug time, try
> increasing this number.
The new value of 128MiB is used by default by both udev and Busybox's mdev.

I'm hoping this will fix the problem reported by terwiz in #spectrum.
