- I think the bitmap overhead was killing us on big x86 machines, right?
so that might need some swork.
- a config option definitly is the wrong way to go.
- I don't think assigning more numbers to the last major is a bad idea,
better assign them to the first one, maybe with a hole for what we're
using the other majors currently for, so when udev gets more mature
we can kill the additional majors.
