And it will anyhow require a full evaluation of MAKEDEV (debian's one anyhow), as it really put a lot of extra crap in. With Greg's patches I only need to worry about /dev/core, /dev/std{in,out,err} and alsa. The question is now also how do you 'qualify' an device to have sysfs support. Sure some is static like /dev/null, but over here /dev/hda is pretty static as well =)
