[PATCH 01/16] major.h: char-major number for OSD device driver

We need a major for a char device for our OSD device driver.
Attached is a proposed patch for the Documentation/devices.txt
and include/linux/major.h files.

I have allocated the *260* char device as it looked like the next
available on the lanana.org web-site
(http://lanana.org/docs/device-list/devices-2.6+.txt)

Any number will do. Please allocate a number for us

(See http:/open-osd.org for further information)
