It's academic for conf.c because the whole file should go away when devfs is finished. tty_conf.c is more interesting. It could be handled more dynamically like conf.c. There isn't as much to gain because the analogue of the major numbers -- the line discipline numbers -- can't be avoided because there is no by-name user interface. Bruce
