root device should be in do_mount.c and not in obscure headers. devfs doesn'T need hardcoded "/dev" prefixes, and it's better to not add defines for the strings in devfs so that crap doesn't get spread over the code but is localized to the existing devfs damage - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
