When do you need device-nodes in AFS space ? I would guess that you'll need
them in chroot()ed enviroments like for ftpd on solaris. Then you'll need
to take lookups of you magic-device-symlinks outside your chroot()ed
environment, I no not find that very attractive.
Use a memfs/ramfs/tmpfs/nullfs/devfs instead, and created the nodes if needed.
