We have now come so far that we can start to kill cdevsw_add() calls and rely on make_dev() for most of the device drivers. Later today I will add a "nagging printf", which will trigger when a device is opened, which wasn't registered by the device driver with make_dev(). It will only trigger once per driver per boot. If you see messages along the line of: WARNING: driver foo should register devices with make_dev() Please let me and the drivers maintainer know. Disk drivers will still be treated slightly special treatment, so they will be exempt from this warning for now. Background Information: This is all part of the long push for DEVFS, before DEVFS can become a reality, we need all dev_t's to be created specifically with make_dev() so their name is available to DEVFS. -- Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop."
