I have been looking at modifying a certain driver to support cards that could possibly result in well over a thousand physical devices needing to be accessed with multiple modes. Anyone who can demonstrate that this would be better done with the existing structure than a devfs that does not depend on Major/Minor number pairs might just persuade me that devfs is a bad idea.
