[ANNOUNCE] ndevfs - a "nano" devfs

[Greg KH <greg@kroah.com>]

Now I just know I'm going to regret this somehow...

Anyway, here's yet-another-ramfs-based filesystem, ndevfs.  It's a very
tiny:
$ size fs/ndevfs/inode.o 
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   1571     200       8    1779     6f3 fs/ndevfs/inode.o
replacement for devfs for those embedded users who just can't live
without the damm thing.  It doesn't allow subdirectories, and only uses
LSB compliant names.  But it works, and should be enough for people to
use, if they just can't wean themselves off of the idea of an in-kernel
fs to provide device nodes.

Now, with this, is there still anyone out there who just can't live
without devfs in their kernel?

Damm, the depths I've sunk to these days, I'm such a people pleaser...

Comments?  Questions?  Criticisms?

I need sleep.

ndevfs - a "nano" devfs

For embedded people to use since they seem to hate userspace.
