udev: cpuid and msr devices

[Martin Lorenz]

Hi,

i recently noticed, that the device nodes for msr and cpuid are not
created by udev.
I tried to insert a corresponding rule, but it diden't help.
Also unloading and reloading the modules diden't.

greets and tnx

That's because there is no support in the kernel for these devices to
show up through sysfs.

Care to write a patch for it?
