The big lines are:
NODEV -> NULL
NOUDEV -> NODEV
udev_t -> dev_t
udev2dev() -> findcdev()
Various minor adjustments including handling of userland access to kernel
space struct cdev etc.
Introduce d_version field in struct cdevsw, this must always be
initialized to D_VERSION.
Flip sense of D_NOGIANT flag to D_NEEDGIANT, this involves removing
four D_NOGIANT flags and adding 145 D_NEEDGIANT flags.
Free approx 86 major numbers with a mostly automatically generated patch.
A number of strategic drivers have been left behind by caution, and a few
because they still (ab)use their major number.
even could call VOP_REVOKE() on vnodes associated with its dev_t's
has originated, but it stops right here.
If there are things people belive destroy_dev() needs to learn how to
do, please tell me about it, preferably with a reproducible test case.
Include <sys/uio.h> in bluetooth code rather than rely on <sys/vnode.h>
to do so.
The fact that some of the USB code needs to include <sys/vnode.h>
still disturbs me greatly, but I do not have time to chase that.
