let me get it straight. You are talking about software that would be a) device-specific, b) Linux-only, c) working with devices that do not exist in 2.4.
Would you mind demonstrating such wonder? Old devices are still there, AFAICS. Ext2 (reiserfs, devfs, abortion-of-your-choice-fs) still has the ability to create device nodes for them.
