    mknod(2): Restrict functionality to creating FIFOs.
    
    Now that we have devfs(5) for handling our device nodes, we can retire
    part of mknod(2) functionality and restrict it to what POSIX requires:
    
    "The only portable use of mknod() is to create a FIFO-special file.
     If mode is not S_IFIFO or dev is not 0, the behavior of mknod() is
     unspecified."
