What about kernels that use devfs? To open the device, devfs would need to have already created the device node, and this must surely happen when the module loads. Can devfs create a node without claiming any resources?
For reference, I use devfs, and have a DVD-ROM (hdc) and a CD burner (hdd). The DVD uses ide-cd and the burner uses ide-scsi, and I have to preload ide-cd (with the "ignore=hdd" parameter) so that ide-scsi doesn't grab the DVD.
