It's the char major number for the new device-independent PPP interface that
is in Linux 2.3.x.

For you; nothing <g> IIRC pppd tries to create /dev/ppp with major 108 if it
doesn't exist, then tries to open it, then deletes the device if it couldn't.
IMNSHO this is rather messy; if the device node doesn't exist it shouldn't
try to create it.

Documentation/devices.txt in the kernel source lists the device number
assignments; the man page for modprobe(8) will tell you how to alias
char-major-108 off in your /etc/modules.conf to supress the log message.
