More potential savings:
- Change dev_nm definition to "const char dev_nm[4][] = ..." saves 7 bytes.
  This amounts to saving 20 bytes of pointers, but the code bloats by
  13 bytes because of reversion from register-indirect to direct addressing
  of dev_nm in several places.  (Using [3] instead of [4] actually makes
  things worse because *3 isn't possible in the R/I/M byte).
- Change dev_maj defn to "const unsigned char dev_maj[]" saves 15 bytes.
