Sorry, just add an hidden CONFIG_ option which is "default y unless UM" (in
2.6 language) and you've done the job for the single /dev/random thing (which
you spoke about above).
For the general proxy case, the hack would be to no-opify the
register_{blk,chr}dev for the majors/minors you want to proxy and add
__register_*dev which does the job as always. And to add a list of
not-proxable majors, possibly, to avoid users proxying their tty's or such
silly things.
