In 2.6, devfs is deprecated, and the recommended replacement is
udev. udev + hotplug + sysfs does basically everything devfs did,
while keeping it in userspace and keeping it clean.
More details about udev are available here:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev-FAQ. This is
required reading material if you think that devfs should not be
deprectated and is in fact the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Cheers,
Muli
