IIRC, the problem is that the version of DEVFS that we have now can't
handle device arrival/removal events from an interrupt context.  Julian had
a version of DEVFS/SLICE at one point that could handle being called from
an interrupt context, however.  Bruce looked into the DEVFS/CAM thing a
while back, and conculded it wouldn't work for now.  If you want details,
ask him.

So, the bottom line is, if you're using CAM, you can't use DEVFS.
