devfs also seem to have some problems with some drivers. I remember a
situation in the local lug here, where a multi-serial-card did not
want to run together with devfs, even after some changes to the module's
source.
And after all, demanding a feature still having a "(EXPERIMENTAL)" after
it may not be the best practice.
