The real answer is DevFS, but I don't see the major distros shipping with that enabled until kernel 2.6 hits. If then. In the meantime, this does imply that the base linuxhpk should be changed to use a standard kmod-type setup, rather than the 'asihpiload'/'asihpiunload' scripts. I guess that means directions for modifying 'modules.conf', please a script to make the /dev/hpi device.
