4Description:
5 devfs has been unmaintained for a number of years, has unfixable
6 races, contains a naming policy within the kernel that is
7 against the LSB, and can be replaced by using udev.
8 The files fs/devfs/*, include/linux/devfs_fs*.h were removed,
9 along with the assorted devfs function calls throughout the
10 kernel tree.
