No more new majors, and help loose the old ones...
We now have a facility for autoallocating major numbers for device drivers at run time. We will accept no more allocations in sys/conf/majors, unless very good and unavoidable circumstances forces a particular device driver to require a static major number. Please help remove entries in sys/conf/majors for which there exists no software, and convert drivers to use "MAJOR_AUTO" instead of using static major numbers.
