Won't work. All that wiring is done through minor device numbers, which
are only 32 bits. We need a real namespace.
Writing a fresh devfs from scratch would not be difficult. I have
simplified the VFS subsystem so much that it could probably be done in
a week or two if someone already familiar with VFS got down and did it.
For me, though, its dead last on my personal list of things to do.
