I'm new to FreeBSD, but an experienced kernel guy. I'm workgin with
4.1.1 on IA32 and need help understanding the ways of your world. :-)
I'd like my project to look like a "normal" driver and use supported
interfaces, but I'll patch the core code if I need to.
This willingness is good. 8)

I do know that we have the concept of probe priorities, so you could
probably set up UDI to probe at a higher priority than the default system

Aha! I've been waiting for this since February or
to avoid the hard-coded major numbers in the cdevsw[] entry that's
passed? It seems like make_dev() should be able to roam cdevsw, find
This is what devfs is meant to achieve. Unfortunately at the moment the
major numbers need to be fixed because there's no dynamism in /dev. If
