Subject: [GIT PATCH] Remove devfs from 2.6.13

Here are the same "delete devfs" patches that I submitted for 2.6.12.
It rips out all of devfs from the kernel and ends up saving a lot of
space.  Since 2.6.13 came out, I have seen no complaints about the fact
that devfs was not able to be enabled anymore, and in fact, a lot of
different subsystems have already been deleting devfs support for a
while now, with apparently no complaints (due to the lack of users.)

do you really think that there have been that many people who have shifted to 2.6.13 in less then 2 weeks since release?

I know that you take personal offense to this code existing, but Andrew pointed out when you proposed these patches before that we need to be acareful here
