This new patch is the same as the previous patch, but adds a module 
parameter "major" to specify the major number (0 for automatic 
allocation which is the default).

For instance, to use dynamic major number allocation:
insmod kqemu.ko

To use the major number 12:
insmod kqemu.ko major=12

I hereby place this patch in the public domain, suitable for inclusion 
in any GPL'd or non-GPL'd project.
