Forgot to mention:
- the floppy driver was converted as an example
- adds a new file "dev" to each driverfs entry
- output is in the following format
MAJOR,MINOR PATH
- one line per each devfs entry during output
- to test try: #cat (driverfs)/root/sys/03?0/dev
assuming you have a floppy drive
- Applies cleanly to 2.5.29 as well
- If there's a demand for it I'll add the ability to unregister
individual devfs entries from driverfs
