I have not much clues about how make_dev_alias(9) and NAMI lookups
are stacked here.  I've simply taken phk's code (for the aliases, it
should be functionally identical to phk's version, i only had to
rewrite the non-alias device creation).

Hmm, they all used to be in /dev/MAKEDEV.  IMHO, all of them can go
away, but i didn't want to force too much of my opinion onto others
here. :)
