In 2.6, devfs is deprecated, and the recommended replacement is udev. udev + hotplug + sysfs does basically everything devfs did, while keeping it in userspace and keeping it clean. More details about udev are available here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev-FAQ. This is required reading material if you think that devfs should not be deprectated and is in fact the greatest thing since sliced bread.
