I'm still working out how the VFS works. I'm not sure how much commonality there would be between memfs and devfs. I was going to evolve a testfs (where I can learn about things) to a devfs. However, if you're set on writing one yourself... Once I understand what I'm doing I can show you what I have in mind ;-)
