You can always have a look at /sys/i386/conf/majors.i386. The next
free one is 81. /sys/i386/i386/conf.c is long since gone, so all
you do in your file is to
#define MYMAJOR 81
static struct cdevsw my_cdevsw =
{ my_open, ... };
If you have to change it again before importing it into the tree, it's
no big deal.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
