-What:		devfs
-Date:		July 2005
-Contact:	Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>
-Description:
-	devfs has been unmaintained for a number of years, has unfixable
-	races, contains a naming policy within the kernel that is
-	against the LSB, and can be replaced by using udev.
-	The files fs/devfs/*, include/linux/devfs_fs*.h will be removed,
-	along with the the assorted devfs function calls throughout the
-	kernel tree.
