20010522        devfs.patch

        This patch changes the way deletes are managed in DEVFS.

        This fixes a number of warnings relating to removed cloned
        devices.

        It also makes it possible to recreate deleted devices with
        mknod(2).  The major/minor arguments are ignored.
