Well, I guess nothing's going to get opened 'till cdevsw_add() has 
been called, but I wasn't paying attention when phk made majors 
dynamic (proof is in net/if_tun and dev/digi), so I don't know off 
the top of my head where this is now done.

The real reason I posted my message was to weakly assert that 
something should be ensuring that cdevsw_add() is only called at or 
after attach time....
