Sorry, I think it's called 'mdev' and is part of busybox.

Bug 398049 can serve well enough. The maintainer said, "This should no
longer be an issue once we have everyone with separate /usr using an
initramfs." [1]

The official method is to build busybox with the "mdev" USE flag. That
is the only way that virtual/dev-manager recognizes it, and doesn't try

Hopefully more info will start arriving, allowing more complex systems
to work with mdev.

With more people getting interested, the project has been moved to
wiki format https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Mdev to allow more people to
contribute.
