Alan mentions in a followup that the simple setuid root helper is not as trivial
a fix as first thought.  This was discussed on today's release wranglers call
but no decision was made.  The general feeling was that either we revert the
change or we rely on the vendors to create the directories in question at
startup time.

In addition, those file systems/platforms that cannot setuid root still need
another solution if we do not revert this change.

Other suggestions are welcome.  We need to decide on a solution for Monday's
release wranglers call.
