It's not implemented yet :)
Seriously, there are a few gotchas that need to be worked out
(serialization of hotplug events, ordering, and other races), and a few
security issues to be addressed. Oh, and we need to finish converting
all of the kernel's drivers to export their major/minor number through
sysfs to get this to work.
Just a few minor things left...
thanks,
