Looks like the Ubuntu people have found a workaround, but I do not know
why unix.ko is not always being correctly autoloaded.

(Anyway, a generic kernel with modular AF_UNIX is stupidly broken.)

We traced the race condition here, FYI: It seems that the 'unix' kernel
module isn't always loaded, so udevsend can't talk to udevd. In our
testcases, it looks like forcing it to be loaded in advance does the
trick.
