- ===============================================================================
- Changes for patch v1
- - creation of devfs
- - modified miscellaneous character devices to support devfs
- ===============================================================================
- Changes for patch v2
- - bug fix with manual inode creation
- ===============================================================================
- Changes for patch v3
- - bugfixes
- - documentation improvements
- - created a couple of scripts (one to save&restore a devfs and the
- other to set up compatibility symlinks)
- - devfs support for SCSI discs. New name format is: sd_hHcCiIlL
- ===============================================================================
- Changes for patch v4
- - bugfix for the directory reading code
- - bugfix for compilation with kerneld
- - devfs support for generic hard discs
- - rationalisation of the various watchdog drivers
- ===============================================================================
- Changes for patch v5
- - support for mounting directly from entries in the devfs (it doesn't
- need to be mounted to do this), including the root filesystem.
- Mounting of swap partitions also works. Hence, now if you set
- CONFIG_DEVFS_ONLY to 'Y' then you won't be able to access your discs
- via ordinary device nodes. Naturally, the default is 'N' so that you
- can still use your old device nodes. If you want to mount from devfs
- entries, make sure you use: append = "root=/dev/sd_..." in your
- lilo.conf. It seems LILO looks for the device number (major&minor)
- and writes that into the kernel image :-(
- - support for character memory devices (/dev/null, /dev/zero, /dev/full
- and so on). Thanks to C. Scott Ananian <cananian@alumni.princeton.edu>
- ===============================================================================
- Changes for patch v6
- - support for subdirectories
- - support for symbolic links (created by devfs_mk_symlink(), no
- support yet for creation via symlink(2))

- /dev/sd/c0b1t2u3 controller=0, bus=1, ID=2, LUN=3, whole disc
- /dev/sd/c0b1t2u3p4 controller=0, bus=1, ID=2, LUN=3, 4th partition
- - loop devices now appear in devfs
- - tty devices, console, serial ports, etc. now appear in devfs

- - created <devfs_get_flags> and <devfs_set_flags> functions
- - fix problem with SCSI disc compatibility names (sd{a,b,c,d,e,f})
- which assumes ID's start at 0 and increase by 1. Also only create
