Ugh. This is too ugly to live.
Can't you do something with a simple bitmap, and just pre-allocate the
fixed numbers? Allocate new major numbers using find_next_zero_bit()
or something..
I can't imagine that we couldn't do something prettier in less code
than that too-disgusting-to-live free_majors[] array..
