Devfs is not going to be the solution, that much is clear. It's
deprecated in 2.6 and in general enjoys the positive reputation of ebola
in most of the kernel community. For 2.4 /proc/misc allows you to get
away without devfs, something that'll also work with 2.6. In a more
general context it looks like udev is going to be the official successor
of devfs.
