I have been searching for more info on devfs and raw devices and would 
appreciate a few pointers.

Running devfsd 1.3.25 on 2.4.9 and 2.4.18 kernels does not create /dev/rawctl 
or associated /dev/raw devices, but raw devices work fine if the device nodes 
are manually created.

Additionally, drivers/char/raw.c does not implement any defvs_*() calls for 
creating/deleting the device nodes.

Is there any plan to support raw devices with devfs?
