Changing /dev entries is very very high  level  stuff. Leave
these to Linus or Alan. There are associated  with  devices,
for which the rules are specified in the  kernel.  You  need
special things like mknod to make entries there.

This is an area, which whould be left alone with  a 20  foot
pole !

I haven't seen a single posting where  Binand gave  some way
to justify tinkering of /dev in kernel sources. What  he did
give was the method of handling the problem of handling  "/"
entries in a sed  replacement operation. There  was  nothing
incorrect with what Binand posted.

Leave /dev alone ..... unless you are  SURE of what you are
doing ... in which case, why ask ?
