Quick question,

I was trolling around the FreeBSD kernel source and the dev directory and
noticed there is no bdevsw structure and no block driver files. Is
everything implemented in terms of character devices now? Looks like all the
support for block devices is contained in the cdevsw struct.

Thanks in advance!
