HEADS UP - DEVFS ON MASTER

[Alex]

Hi,

about if_tap, it should in theory autoclone on opening /dev/tap and
using fdevname or fdevname_r to retrieve the name from the open
descriptor. It is untested, but the code is present and should work at
least as far as creating the clone device.

As for major/minor goes, major is set to 0 always and minor was the
way it used to be. Relevant line in devfs_vnops.c:
vap->va_rminor = DEVFS_NODE(ap->a_vp)->d_dev->si_uminor; (in getattr)

Sincerely,
Alex
