Quick question: Is this a problem for people _without_ DEVFS? Poul
may have accidentally broke calling make_dev for the bpf device in the
non-DEVFS case. Try this hackish patch:
Index: bpf.c

make_dev(&bpf_cdevsw, minor(dev), UID_ROOT, GID_WHEEL, 0600,
"bpf%d", dev2unit(dev));
MALLOC(d, struct bpf_d *, sizeof(*d), M_BPF, M_WAITOK);
Hmm. Or try doing changing it to this instead:
if (dev->si_flags & SI_NAMED != 0)
It could be an order of operations buglet.
