Kernel is machine specific package, udev has machine independent
version.

If you do this, you cannot use armv5te feed and all machines that do it
must be considered as a separate platform:

- If you subscribe to armv5te, then opkg upgrade will upgrade back to
  udev-151 and your system will fail to boot.

If you unsibscribe from armv5te and create new platform armv5teoldudev
then:

- Old udev does not support libudev and libgudev. Application that
  depend on it can't be built.

=> udev-compat is still the simplest solution

Another simple solution would be forcing of udev as machine specific
package for all machines and remove it from the platform feed.
