I just return to original variant.
I.e. I attempt to add device handling and then remove it.
The reason is that character devices change its mode/permissons/time
very often. The best thing can be supported is block devices only
without modification time, but it gains almost nothing because
raw devices not handled and nobody guaranteed that block device
can't change its modes and owner on the fly in general.
