kernel 2.6 rewrites the dev layer; devfs is *deprecated* and use of udev is
the right way to do the system work. the "new driver model" relies on the
virtual filesystem "sysfs" and everything will be ported to use it instead
of /dev ... this way it will be possible to remove the big beast in the
kernel, the ioctl interface, replacing it with a set of sysfs files.. this
approach is more clear scalable and allows to avoid the BKL (Big Kernel Lock)
the ioctl needs.
devfs in 2.6 is the evil, the right approach is udev+hotplug+sysfs.
