This change has been bothering a lot of people for quite some time :) These two small changesets (patches to follow this email) fix that problem by removing these functions, and having the original [un]register_chrdev and [un]register_blkdev ask devfs if the operation should be performed _if_ devfs is currently compiled into the kernel. No functionality is changed, but the kernel code base is reduced, and we are back to a common API. If people want me to, I'd be glad to make up a patch for 2.4 that does this same thing.
