1964f79ab3 Remove filtering on major device number. These are assigned randomly
these days so filtering on them makes no sense other than as a foot-shooting
device.

072af15128 Implement this (quoted from the updated man page): If the first token
of a rule specification is a single dash (``-''), rules are read from
the standard input and the rest of the specification is ignored.

014c2ea5cd Use more standard section names in an attempt to unconfuse new users
(and make it easier to find stuff for the old ones).  I originally put
everything under one "RULE SUBSYSTEM" so it didn't look like devfs(8)
is dedicated to the rule subsystem, but since nobody has any idea what
else might go here, it's not worth confusing people just to save a
little time for someone that might add something rule-unrelated to
devfs(8) in a few years.

a1dc209638 Introduce the DEVFS "rule" subsystem. DEVFS rules permit the
administrator to define certain properties of new devfs nodes before
they become visible to the userland.  Both static (e.g., /dev/speaker)
and dynamic (e.g., /dev/bpf*, some removable devices) nodes are
supported.  Each DEVFS mount may have a different ruleset assigned to
it, permitting different policies to be implemented for things like
jails.
