Unfortunately, DEVFS isn't going to work properly under CAM, since according to Bruce, you can't register device nodes in an interrupt context. Or something like that. He can explain it a bit more. (Device arrival events in CAM are delivered in an interrupt context.) So, for now, it doesn't matter. But, once DEVFS works with CAM, I guess the only device nodes that will be supported are the new-name device nodes. (Unless we make a decision to create both.)
