I'm describing the behaviour of the newer version here. The issue is
current. It does watch drm devices but if it gets indication that all
udev events have been processed and still there is no usable drm
device, it will give up on drm and launch into text mode.

The plymouth behaviour I described is achieved by using the public
libudev API, udev_queue_get_queue_is_empty() and (the exact equivalent
of) udev_queue_get_fd().
