You do realise that the dynamic device creation for those 64 console
devices is done via the console device being _opened_ by userspace?
Which userspace program is opening 64 console devices? Surely it could
be taught to use a smaller number. If you mean that open the console
once creates all those devices, I think that's exactly what Jon was
suggesting is not desirable (I agree).
