Subject: wfd block major number reassignment from 24 to 1
Date: Fri, 13 Feb 1998 13:25:02 -0800

Folks,

I intend to reassign the wfd block device to (currently unused)
major #1 before the release of 2.2.6.  While I've fixed most of
the stupid code in the kernel that expects boot devices to be
sequential from major #0, I cannot fix the boot blocks without a
noticable increase in code size (I'd need to make devs a structure
with major/minor numbers).

If you have any objection, please speak now, otherwise I'll be
making this change ASAP.

Paul

p.s. Just as a heads up, I've also rewritten most of the generic and driver
     code to use the new bdevsw flags, so we can remove the hard-coded major
     numbers in various parts of the kernel (barf).
