kmod replaces module-init-tools

This is intended to be a drop-in replacement, though deprecated functionality in module-init-tools has not been reimplemented. If, upon upgrade, pacman moves /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf to a .pacsave, you should move it back. This file, and any other config read by module-init-tools, is still read by kmod. However, the kmod package will no longer include a blank config file. You'll find the same documentation in the manpages and --help output for the binaries.

Users of unofficial kernels must enable devtmpfs support

The official Arch kernels have both had devtmpfs support for a long time, so only people who compile their own kernels are potentially affected by this change. More information about the kernel options required by udev is available in the udev .
