To accomplish this, here is a series of patches (22 in all) that do just that. Surprisingly enough, devfs was almost everywhere in the kernel, that's why it takes so many patches :) Anyway, here's the whole series against 2.6.12-rc6-git4. If some of them don't make it through to lkml (due to size restrictions, or just failing on a "taste" filter), you can find them all at: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/gregkh-2.6/gregkh-05-devfs/ along with a quilt series file to apply them with. Andrew, please do not pick these up for your -mm tree. Odds are it will just cause too many conflicts to make it worth your while :) Comments welcome. Oh, and the best part? Here's the summary of the diffstat: 222 files changed, 112 insertions(+), 8545 deletions(-) It's nice to remove code from the kernel for a change... thanks, greg k-h [1] What? You don't know this? Didn't you get the memo[2]? Did you miss the huge flame war almost a year ago[3]? Are you living under a rock[4]?
