Seems pretty weird to effectively allocate 256 device numbers

I'll drop the patch and make it allocate a new major for every device
plugged in.
Your driver could internally dispatch 256 minor device numbers after
it got itself its own dynamic major number. This should even be
acceptable as a hard limit of mem1394 devices. One would need quite a
lot of 1394 cards (or 1394.1 bridges) to get access to 256 FireWire
nodes at once.
